Mission to Mexico

The tireless group of pink hammer carpenters from Durham, Ont., built one house during their one week in Tijuana, Mexico in July. Together with other missionaries who had traveled to Tijuana from across North America, they built nine houses that week. First they had to raise $14,000 so they could afford to be missionaries. They were enterprising to say the least; and, really know how to carry a pink hammer. Back row: Stephan Smit, Ron MacIntyre, Jared McConnell. Middle row: Shannon Becker, Ané Smit, Caitlyn Osborne, Nicole Vander Meulen, Emily Hutchinson, Sam Becker, Mary Buller (honourary Canadian from Colorado). Front row: Rev. Jim Johnson, Linda Johnson, Kathleen McConnell.
