The teenagers in our Hope Program went on their very own missions trip to a children's home here in Monterrey this spring. It was a chance for them to learn to serve, and the same light bulbs that happen in the American groups who come to serve with Back2Back went on in our teenagers heads. They've grown up in children's homes and on our campus being served by the groups but had never experienced the other side of the equation. They are now working to raise money for a missions trip to our Back2Back Cancun site this fall. Since their trip this spring, the teenagers have started joining in with the American groups and most days at least one of them comes along to help work. It's been a really cool experience for everyone involved. Here are some pictures from a work day last week where we mixed and poured concrete all day.
Rogelio ran the trompo to mix the concrete
Juan, who is 18 and lives at Del Norte, came outside to help and wheeled cement back and forth
Shirley lifted buckets of cement up to the roof where they were pouring columns
