About Us
ULBC CasaBuilders is a growing group of Christian volunteers based in
the San Francisco Bay area, northern CA. Our volunteers are from many different
churches from all over California and now parts of Arizona. Our common bond is our love for our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ and a heart to serve others by building homes and churches
for needy famillies and communities in the Tijuana area of Mexico.
History
Established in 2001, Casabuilders began with 18 people building a single
home in May 2001. The next year, we expanded to facilitate 3 trips and to build
5 homes for needy families. As our casabuilder family began to grow, we added
more trips to accomodate the desire in the hearts of Christians who want to share
in a short-term missions experience. By 2005 we had a trip every month of the
year. More about the beginning of Casabuilders
is available here.ULBC Our trips are typically a 4-day adventure
(first and last days are travel, second and third day are building days).
On all our
building
trips
we
always
invite
their
teenaged children to come and work with us and to be part of the CasaBuilder
teams. Families have found this to be a great relationship-building experience.
2009 Goals
We have several scheduled trips for 2009 , and have
room on our schedule to add 2 or 3 extra trips as God directs.
Our trips for this year are focused on the completion of our Visitor's Center at the Mi Casa Children's Home Project (more information on Mi Casa). Our goal is to celebrate Christmas in the new visitor's center with many of our friends in Mexico this coming December!
We will have the full "Casabuilder experience" each trip as we continue progress on this first phase of the Mi Casa Project.
