NMU students fund, build house in Mexico

In these two photos, Northern Michigan University students are shown helping to build a house in Juarez, Mexico. The group included 16 NMU students from His House ministry, two campus ministers, a supporter of His House and a student’s cousin. In two vans they traveled over 1,750 miles in more than 33 hours to Mexico. They volunteered with an organization called Casas Por Cristo (Houses for Christ) and spent their spring break working on the house. The group purchased the materials for the 14-foot by 30-foot house, which cost about $7,500. Each person paid about $600, with a portion going toward food and travel expenses.
