MEXICO MISSIONS 

Knox's Ryan Fabrizius & homeowner smoothing stucco together last year

 Each winter break for the past several years, Knox's Youth Council has scheduled a mission trip for young adults.  These trips have been a great way to get back together with Knox friends and serve others.  The decision was made to once again work with Amor Ministries and travel to Tijuana, Mexico to build homes for needy families.  We stayed in the Amor camp in the countryside east of Tijuana and traveled each day into the near outskirts of the city, without power tools, from pouring the concrete foundation to applying the stucco.  We were escorted at all times in Mexico by an Amor representative.  As part of our work we met the family who would be living in the home.

Friends and other youth who are not members of Knox can participate in the trip by covering their total cost.  They are encouraged to raise these funds from their home church/friends/families.  We are available to assist in these fundraising efforts.

Knox Annual Young Adult Mission Trip

If you would like to join other college age and beyond young adults over New Year's weekend, contact either Bruce Burkelman or Rev. Robert Quiring.  Interested youth will receive a packet of information about this year's trip!
