This will be an exciting trip to an area north of Cuauhtemoc, a village of about 800 only about 10 hrs drive from Albuquerque. The local church has asked us to build an addition for classrooms for the kids and a kitchen, dinning area for everyone.

This money will purchase most of your food, transportation costs, and construction materials for the project. Contact Ellis McMath @505-507-3878 for information.
TRANSPORTATION: The Transportation Captain will contact you concerning your assignment. We will depart ABQ early Thursday morning and arrive at the camp about 5-6 pm.

SPIRITUAL HEALTH: You will discover it is a privilege to be on a trip like this. Expect to experience God. Expect him to speak to you; ask him to speak to you. Use the time to serve and get to know your fellow STM's. Be open to how God wants to change you; you will be changed.
