House Build

Community Church Movement (CCM) partners with the worldwide organization Youth With A Mission (YWAM) for the Mexico house build projects. YWAM has built thousands of homes in the Baja region. YWAM screens, interviews, and selects the families who are gifted with a home, and the stories of life change that come from the recipients are incredible. Target groups are the poorest of the poor – those who don’t have shelter improvement as their first priority because obtaining food and basic needs consumes all their resources. It is recognized that given the right assistance these groups will be able to change their circumstances and future productivity.

The children affected by the gift of a home have experienced benefits in their health and well being due to improved living conditions in their family as the stability of a home enables emotional and economic benefits, as well as educationally as they attend school and open more doors for their future productivity as citizens in their communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Through our Christmas Offering and the genreosity of our church, we are able to provide prayer, volunteers, and financial support for the global and local outreach organizations EastLake Church is partnering with. All of the outreach Eastlake Church helps fund is because of the generosity of those who give. From this giving, EastLake Church is able to fund the cost of each home built by volunteers. Volunteers are required to cover their own costs through the payment plan outlined below.
