Natomas Cares: Mexico Mission Trip Builds Homes

IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING ONE OF THE “HOUSES.”
RECIPIENT OF THE HOUSE, WHERE 10 PEOPLE WILL LIVE.
More than five dozen Natomas residents spent their Thanksgiving week traveling to Tijuana, Mexico where they built shelters for people living in a garbage landfill there.

The group built four house and did several additions or renovations to existing buildings. They brought brand-new clothing and toys as well as gently-used items to about 30 orphaned children.

The volunteers passed out fruit, vegetables and water to families that live at the landfill, served a spaghetti dinner to a 200-plus homeless community in the park, and shared a delightful Thanksgiving dinner with another 200 people who work for or benefit from La Roca Ministries.
Several of the 62 people who went on the week-long mission attend Gateway Fellowship and Adventure Church in Natomas.
