Outreach programs have included soccer camps, medical clinics, soup kitchens, hospital feeding programs, community events, and other activities depending on needs.

About Piedras Negras

DETAILS

Volunteer teams spend time serving in the community by getting plugged into our ongoing service programs. Group participants work together to display a testimony of God’s love and meet essential needs through construction projects and outreach programs to empower local partners to bring sustainable change in their community so that when we leave, the ministry of Jesus continues. Construction projects in the Mexico field are primarily aimed toward finishing homes on the remaining 10 lots available in Piedra Angular and existing CrossRoads facilities within the neighborhood. These projects provide homeownership for local residents. All homes are sold at an affordable cost creating rare, attainable, quality housing.

There are also often opportunities to assist our local partners with the upkeep and renovation of their facilities. CrossRoads staff, interns, and local professionals will supervise work including concrete, drywall, tile, roofing, painting, and other various work projects. Outreach programs include community events and feeding programs. Our current outreach focus is refugee relief work. We offer a housing place at The Ranch, dispense groceries for individual families, and provide rides to church on Sundays. Different ways that our teams get plugged in are by grocery shopping, cooking a meal, and engaging with our refugee friends.
