of the trip. The looks on the family's faces when they were given
the keys to the house were priceless. Everything has been an unforgettable
experience.”

Be an intern with Casas por Cristo
As an intern with Casas Por Cristo, you will play a vital role in
our ministry, and you will also have an experience that will change
your life! We offer a great program that allows college aged and older
people to become involved in mission work. Where else can you impact
hundreds of lives on both sides of the border in just one summer?
You'll work directly with Mexicans and Americans as you foster a partnership
that both gives a family a home and an opportunity to know the love
of Jesus in a very real, tangible way. We will provide you with a
vehicle, gas, accommodations and utilities for the entire summer.
You only have to provide money for your weekend meals and travel to
and from El Paso. Plus, at the end of the summer you will receive
a $1,000 educational scholarship.
