El Pozo began as a dream over 10 years ago. Since then, God has used El Pozo to change the lives of countless college students here in Puebla, Mexico. To celebrate our 10 years of serving God we want to continue dreaming big and bless others while doing it. This year we want to provide 10 houses for families in need over holy week (March 29-April 3).
For the past 7 years El Pozo has taken a group of students to north Mexico on a mission to build a house for a family in need alongside our friends at
Casas Por Cristo. Two years ago we went from building one house to two and this year we dream of being a blessing to not just one or two families but ten. One for each year we have been ministering to college students.
Many of our students here think we are crazy and maybe you do, too. When we tell them we are going to provide 10 houses and need 100 people plus $100,000 to do it, most don't believe it is possible. Most have never personally experienced God work in such big ways, and we want to give them that experience. Every year that we have taken this trip, our students come back changed. For some it is noticeable right away and for others the changes are more subtle, but they are changed. They learn what it is like to give instead of receive, live without the comforts of home for a few days and see the struggles first hand that many families not far from them have to deal with on a daily basis. But more important than all of that is the ways they see God live and active in the world today, using them to make a difference and bringing his kingdom here on earth.
We would like to invite you to be a part of this dream. As I mentioned earlier we need 100 people and $100,000. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside El Pozo students and staff (past and present) as well as other supporters and lovers of the ministry in bringing God's kingdom to earth. I believe that this dream is going to change lives physically and spiritually forever. Whether part of the giving or the receiving, God has his ways of showing up in a personal, life-changing, real way. We at El Pozo are excited to see God show off and use us ordinary people to make a big difference as we celebrate ten wonderful years of ministry.
