Help Build Hope: Building Homes, Building Faith
Since its inception in 1999, CrossRoads Missions' Help Build Hope ministry has framed and donated over 1,900 homes—all from church, school, and business parking lots across the country. This unique, one-day mission opportunity turns empty lots into construction sites and everyday people into difference-makers.
Partnering with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and Fuller Center for Housing, Help Build Hope delivers framed wall packages that are later completed and given to families in need. It’s a simple yet powerful concept: we build the walls, they build the home, lives are changed.
What makes it the greatest one-day short-term mission trip?
No travel required – Serve right where you are.
Tangible impact – Frame an entire house in a single day.
All ages welcome – Families, youth groups, and seniors can all take part.
For churches, it's more than a build—it’s a discipleship tool. It gets people out of the pews and into the mission, working side by side to serve others and live out their faith.
Help Build Hope doesn’t just build homes—it builds community, compassion, and commitment to Christ’s call to serve.
