About Project Purpose

We are four families heading to Mazatlan, Mexico in September 2014, to build two houses for families in need. In partnership with Homes of Hope we will give these families a debt free home which will help leverage them out of poverty.

Each home project costs $12,500 (NZD) to build including funds required for furniture and fit-out. It is our vision to take a message of love from New Zealanders who are committed to seeing families free from poverty and that 100% of donated funds are allocated to the building project, with each family financing their own travel and accommodation. We ask that you also will partner with us in giving this gift of hope and freedom.

We personally have seen lives being radically changed and look forward to partnering with YWAM Mazatlan and Homes of Hope, impacting individuals, changing families’ lives and breaking the debilitating cycle of poverty. It is our hope that you can partner with us as we partner with Mazatlan families and build two homes in Mexico.

The Bowlers

One of our values is Adventure and so we choose to live life “outside of the box called normal”, chasing opportunities to expand our view of God by expanding our view of His world.

The Strongs

We are excited about working alongside those doing God’s work with families living in poverty in Mazatlan, and seeing God work in us to grow us as a family

The Browns

We are anticipating a time together as a family of hard work, fun, love, laughter, sweat, and tears. A time to be reminded of all the blessings that God has given us.
