April 6-13, 2013
Put your faith into action – come and be part of the LAUMC 2013 San Carlos Trip, April 6-13, 2013. This trip is open to all ages – no prior experience is necessary. We have worked with AMOR Ministries on our Mexico trips for over 15 years. This year, we will work the AMOR Ministries on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation, 90 miles northeast of Phoenix in Arizona.
The San Carlos Apache Reservation is one of the poorest Native American communities in the United States, with the median annual household income being approximately $14,000. About 77 percent of the people live under the poverty line. AMOR Ministries has formed strategic alliances with Tribal governments, participating churches, and the private sector to effectively meet the needs of the poorest families living on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
Working with AMOR Ministries, we will help build a 2-bedroom, 1-bath house and seek to alleviate the tangible needs of the poor by sharing the love of Jesus with families through providing homes to families in need.
We will camp during the week and stay in a hotel in Indio on the way down and back. We will have our own gourmet camp chefs prepare food for us. Registration form and deposits are due by January 27. Final payments and remaining forms are due by February 17.
