At the end of October, The Global Mission took a team from Crossline Church down to Ensenada Mexico to build a loft house for a man named Sebastian. Sebastia is a 62-year-old man who had lost his home and most of his belongings in a fire earlier this year. He had also owned a convenience store that was attached to his home and destroyed in the fire. While he was able to rebuild his convenience store, he did not have enough money to rebuild his home.
The team from Crossline, 29 people of all different ages and walks of life, gave Sebastian a home, security, a sense of belonging, and hope.
Sebastian worked alongside the building, painting and assembling furniture. He mentioned to the team that he loved the color of the new house, it was the same color as the house that had burnt down. That small detail meant a lot to him and was a divine reminder that God sees him, knows him, and loves him.
Once the house was complete, the team spoke words of encouragement over Sebastian, prayed for him, then handed him a Bible and the key to his new house. We are hopeful that on our next trip to Ensenada, we’ll be able to visit Sebastian and hear how his life was impacted by this incredible gift from the Lord.
