T-rev in Mexico

Every spring break since 1985*, people from Christ on Campus at the University of Arkansas drive from Fayetteville down to Mexico. For several years prior to 1999 we'd go to Vida Nueva Ministries--near Piedras Negras (across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas)--which is a children's home and more, where we would plant trees, dig septic tanks, paint, pour concrete, etc. Since 1999 we've been going to Amor Ministries in Ciudad Juárez (across from El Paso), where we build a house for a needy family. I've been six times; twice to Piedras, four times to Juárez. * In 2000 we went to North Carolina to do flood relief (Hurricane Floyd); Gulf Coast in 2006 and 2007 (Katrina).
