Quiz Night for Mexico!

Casas por Cristo is an organization that builds homes along the US / Mexico border for families that do not have homes. In just four days, volunteer teams build a safe and secure home complete with cement foundation, electricity, windows, doors, drywall, and insulation. Casas por Cristo is driven by a desire to provide tangible expressions of God's love and provision. It is a ministry about bringing hope to families in need. GTCCF takes a group of volunteers to Juarez, Mexico to do a Casas build every spring break. This year, Canvas will be taking a group of volunteers to Juarez to build a home for a family in need. As you can imagine, this is a God-sized dream that will take lots of prayer and hard work.

The students of Canvas are planning events for the term to help raise money for the building materials that we will need to build a home in Juarez. The first Mexico event of the term was a charity quiz night at Canvas. On Thursday evenings at Canvas we serve free soup and bread and so last Thursday we served Chicken Tortilla Soup and hosted a quiz night to raise money for the Mexico trip.

"Pub quizzes" in England are very similar to team trivia nights at restaurants in the States. We had five rounds of questions, including one round of questions about Mexico. We even had a few interactive rounds where students built towers with marshmallows and spaghetti noodles. Overall, it was a great evening full of fun and competition. Here are some photos from the event:
