We are kicking off an annual appeal this month. Our goal is to raise $200,000 to support our activities
for 2004. This money will support the following activities throughout the year:
- Building 3 new houses
- Repairing 15 houses
- Joining Jimmy Carter in Mexico to help building efforts there
- Tithing to the Habitat program in Mexico

We are actively seeking help to raise the money we need to support these
worthy activities. If you can help, please contact Paul Brown at

Below is a wish list of items that would make a significant contribution to our entire operation.
Of all the items on the wish list, buildable land is by far the highest priority. As of Oct. 13th, 2003,
one of the families that has been selected to receive a home has had to move out of the trailer
they are currently living in due to the substandard condition of the trailer. This family is seeking
temporary shelter with friends until we can build them a home.
