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. 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.

Future Goals

We have several scheduled trips for 2008, and have room on our schedule to add 2 or 3 extra trips as God directs.

He also has placed in our hearts a vision for a new Christian children's home. This vision is to be called "Mi Casa". It will be a place where there will be an orphanage, a battered women's ministry creating jobs for moms (that need to be with their children), a chapel, education center, family development ministries, gymnasium soccer field, and more.

This will be a place where children can always say, "This is 'Mi Casa" (my house); where women needing a new start can always say, "This is 'Mi Casa; but most importantly, where God himself always says, "THIS IS 'MI CASA''. Our goal is for Mi Casa Children's Home to create a hope and a future for this upcoming generation in Baja California, Mexico. Visit our MI CASA Children's Home pages.

In July 2006, we were given 5 acres of land to build this home. Grading of the property is finished, and the first building (guest dorms) is under way. Plans of our project are available here .
