Project teams can originate from Sunday School classes, youth groups, Bible study groups, or other church or parachurch groups, Christian schools/universities, community service groups, or anyone committed to serving the needs of the poor. The timeframe for the project and outreaches can be as short as a weekend, or as long as a week. A variety of accommodations exist ranging from camping at the project site, to staying at a bunk house or ranch equipped with showers and cooking facilities, to staying at a comfortable hotel in Tijuana. The cost of each house is $5,500.00* for preparation work, materials, and administration. A badly needed sanitary latrine can also be built for an additional $700.00*. Additional costs will include transportation to Mexico, accommodations , and any other expenses related to special evangelism or distribution outreaches. God brings financial resources for these projects in many different ways. Please contact Baja Christian Ministries for some ideas.
