Our team from Steele Creek Church of Charlotte is preparing for an upcoming mission trip in partnership with Shoulder to Shoulder Mexico—and we’d love for you to be part of it.

Shoulder to Shoulder Mexico’s mission is clear: to serve, equip, and empower local pastors and churches. Their vision is just as powerful: healthy pastors and thriving churches all throughout México. That’s the heart behind this trip—coming alongside what God is already doing through local leaders, not replacing it.

Short-term teams play an important role in fostering spiritual growth, community development, and cultural exchange. Each trip is planned and tailor-made to match the skills, goals, and age group of the team coming down, while also meeting the real needs and goals of the Mexican church. Our team will be working directly with local churches to strengthen their ministry and encourage their communities.

What We’ll Be Doing in Mexico

Team members will engage directly with local churches through hands-on service opportunities such as:

Construction
Helping with church buildings or homes in the community. In just one week, we can accomplish what might take months for a church to do alone—providing a meaningful boost to their ministry.

Community Events
Supporting outreach events like Vacation Bible School, sports camps, and family festivals. These moments help churches build relationships and share the love of Christ with families.

Evangelistic Ministry
Sharing the message of Jesus in practical ways—such as visiting rehab centers or distributing free Bibles—creating opportunities for hope-filled conversations and gospel outreach.

Health Clinics
Meeting physical needs through clinic support while also opening doors for prayer, encouragement, and spiritual connection with local churches.

How You Can Help

Not everyone is called to go—but everyone can take part. Your support helps provide travel and ministry resources, construction materials, outreach supplies, and tools needed to serve effectively alongside the local church.

Would you consider donating today to help strengthen pastors and empower churches throughout México?

Thank you for praying, giving, and partnering with us. We look forward to sharing stories and updates so you can see how your generosity helped make an impact—shoulder to shoulder.

In just a few weeks, my church, Steele Creek Church, and I will embark on a powerful mission trip to Guatemala. Our hearts are set on serving alongside Casa Aleluya, a children’s home that has transformed the lives of thousands of abused and abandoned children. As we prepare to go, I’m reaching out to you with a simple, urgent request: we need your help.

Why Casa Aleluya?

Casa Aleluya was founded in 1989 by Mike and Dottie Clark—two people who responded to God’s call after experiencing tremendous personal loss. With nothing but faith, five children, and $2,000, they moved to Guatemala to follow God’s voice. What began as a leap of faith has become a life-giving refuge for more than 6,000 children over the past three decades.

Today, Casa is home to around 200 children, ranging from 6-week-old babies to young adults in college. Every single child has come to Casa by order of the court system due to severe abuse or abandonment. These kids are more than numbers—they are stories of heartbreak, resilience, and incredible transformation.

At Casa, children receive not only food, shelter, and education—but most importantly, the unconditional love of Christ. Many have never known the security of a safe home or the embrace of someone who truly cares. Here, they experience both.

What We’ll Be Doing

During our time in Guatemala, we’ll be:

Serving at Casa Aleluya, spending meaningful time with the kids

Building homes, laying concrete floors, and constructing stoves for families in need

Distributing food and water filters in local villages

Evangelizing and spreading hope in communities where resources are scarce but hearts are open

One of our greatest opportunities will be to simply love on the children—to play games, laugh, share stories, and remind them that they are seen, they are valued, and they are loved by Jesus.

How You Can Help

This mission needs more than hands and hearts—it needs resources. Casa Aleluya is currently in need of everyday essentials that many of us take for granted. We’re collecting donations of the following items:

👟 Tennis shoes (all sizes)
🩴 Croc-style sandals for showers and patios
👕 T-shirts and jeans (all ages)
🛏 Pajamas and underwear
👗 Nice clothing for church
🎨 Coloring books, colored pencils, books, and games (especially for kids 8+)
💐 Perfume, cologne, and body mists for boys and girls

Would you consider giving, whether financially or through donations of supplies—to help us meet these needs? Your gift will directly bless the children of Casa and support our team as we serve.

This summer, I have the incredible opportunity to step out in faith and serve the people of Colombia — a country full of beauty, resilience, and a deep need for hope.
As part of my broader mission work this year, the Colombia trip will be a time focused entirely on evangelism, outreach, and spreading the love of Christ to those who need it most.

From July 3rd to July 14th, I’ll be traveling to Colombia alongside a team of believers with one goal in mind: to share the Gospel and meet people where they are, both physically and spiritually.
Through prayer walks, community outreach, and street evangelism, we hope to touch lives, build relationships, and remind people that they are seen, known, and deeply loved by God.

Why Colombia?
Colombia has a rich history and culture, but it has also endured decades of hardship — violence, displacement, and social unrest have left many searching for hope beyond the circumstances around them.
The mission to Colombia is about meeting these communities in their pain and showing them the everlasting hope found in Jesus Christ.

What We Will Be Doing:

Evangelizing through one-on-one conversations, group worship, and public outreach events

Distributing resources such as Bibles and food where possible

Partnering with local churches to strengthen ongoing ministries after we leave

Praying for families, youth, and leaders in the communities we visit

Offering encouragement, support, and practical love to those who are hurting

This mission is not just about what we bring — it's about being present, being available, and letting God move through every conversation, every prayer, and every act of kindness.

How You Can Help:
I’m raising funds to help cover travel expenses, ministry materials, and logistical needs for the Colombia mission.
Every donation directly supports this work — providing the means to reach more people, bless more families, and plant seeds of hope that can flourish long after we’re gone.

Most importantly, I ask for your prayers — for open doors, receptive hearts, protection, and boldness as we step out to share His love.

Together, we can be part of something bigger than ourselves. Together, we can bring light to Colombia.
