A Casas por Cristo build is about more than building a home—it can be a life-changing experience. Whether you're serving a family, strengthening relationships, or discovering a passion for missions, God often works in ways we never expect.
Amiee McElveen experienced this firsthand during a build in Guatemala:
"God opened the door for my husband and me to join this trip just 10 days before it began. Both of our children have served with Casas, and those experiences helped ignite our daughter's passion for missions. This trip gave me a deeper understanding of her heart for missions and her love for the people of Guatemala. Seeing the work completed and building relationships with the community opened my eyes in ways I never expected."
Sometimes all it takes is saying "yes." What begins as an opportunity to support a friend or family member can become a moment that transforms your own heart. Through serving alongside local communities, witnessing God's faithfulness, and sharing His love, you'll often discover that He is working in your life just as much as the lives of those you're serving.
You never know how God might use one week to deepen your faith, strengthen your relationships, and reveal His purpose for your life. When He opens the door, take that step of faith.
