“Our First trip to Rocky Point was in May of 2001. Our lives changed when i6eight began. As we became involved, we realized building once a year was no longer enough. It has become more spiritual and life
changing, it is no longer just a building project.”
Wayne Martin

basketball coach for 27 years and now a Registered Nurse running a dialysis clinic. While we do many things to serve the community in Mexico, we never lose sight of why. The focus is put on the Gospel.
