Baja Educational Initiative launching NOW!
Over the years we have encountered some exceptional young men and women while working around Baja. We have grieved over the reality that many talented young children in Baja will never reach their full academic potential. Guess what: we have decided to do something BIG about this. We have set a goal of raising funds to support 25 exceptional young students per year. If this sounds interesting we could use your financial support right now. Click here

Labor Day Weekend 2012 - Harbor Church and The Rock
Two churches, Harbor and The Rock, had a fantastic Labor Day Weekend as they joined forces to build for a sweet family of five. This team managed to finish the home in only 2 1/2 days while immersing themselves fully with the family and surrounding neighbors. Over the course of the weekend the team became very attached to the children. The oldest, Eduardo, is highly motivated and making excellent grades in school. Moved by his determination, a team member is now sponsoring him for his educational expenses, taking another step further to reversing the cycle of poverty in this region!
Rancho Vista Church - August 2012
Rancho Vista Church sent their "A" team this past August to complete a home for a family of 10 who were living in a cardboard structure they called home.

Thankful for the ongoing commitment from RVC to love and bring hope to the people of Baja!
Shalom Lutheran - July 2012

Not only did they completely transform the lives of a single mom and her three kids by gifting them with a new home but they also invested extra time in getting to know them. On the day the team presented the family with their new home, they opened the door to discover special gifts for each family member located throughout the home. Each one wept out of gratitude for the generosity and love shown to them!
