Amor Group Builds Married Student Homes At All Nations Seminary

This past week Amor Ministries groups built six double wide homes for married students at the All Nations Seminary in Juarez, Mexico. Mission trip participants, 176 in all, from two US churches poured slabs, built walls, constructed roofs, and stucco'd these homes for some very happy students at the Seminary. This was a great need since last fall they had to turn away 8 prospective students since they had no place to house them. Its a great opportunity for both ministries to beginning working together while at the same time Amor CEO, Scott Congdon, and All Nations Seminary, John Lee, were undertaking arrangements for a planning trip to Cancun, Mexico this August. This planning team, also consisting of Amor Chief Spiritual Officer, Gayla Congdon, two Amor board members, Mike and Amy McClenahan and the Hispanic Pastor from Solana Beach Presbyterian Church will be meeting to plan an alliance with the All Nations Seminary and the Cancun Christian University

Below is a video shot by Amor showing the construction of the new married student housing built for the Seminary:
