Each year a small group from our church takes a trip into Mexico where we work alongside an existing ministry and help provide for some basic needs the people in the area have. This year we will head down over the Thanksgiving week and we'll help to build homes for families in need, take school supplies, clothes, and toys to an orphanage, do handyman work at a drug rehabilitation ranch, and provide a meal for families who live and work on a dump.
If you are interested in learning more, please contact Kelsey and Brian Jang at singinkels@gmail.com.
To prepare for the trip, our team will gather together for 8 weeks. We will meet at the Jang Home, 24 Arvis Ct., Sacramento from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.
