Youth Mission Trip
Youth & Young Adult Mission Trip to El Salvador, happening during Spring Break – April 4–11, 2026.
The lack of adequate housing compounds the immense challenges of living in severe poverty for thousands of families in El Salvador. Imagine during the rainy season; a mud floor, a leaking roof, and a mother not being able to put her child down, as she endeavours to move buckets around to try and ensure her family’s belongings are not being soaked. Imagine not being able to secure a door at night to protect your children. Imagine not being able to leave your dwelling to try and find employment because your few possessions may be gone when you return.
A new home = security, improved health, and above all, hope in a better future for a family.
E-Free Lethbridge is excited to work and serve alongside the ShelterHelps staff and families to build ‘hope’ together. To be able to hear the stories of faith and resilience from these families and the difference this home will make in their lives is incredibly impactful and humbling. Their lives are changed forever, as are ours.
Stay tuned for more details about our trip, our fundraising plans and further updates.
Our Youth and Young Adults Mission Team is heading to El Salvador in April 2026 to build 24 houses in partnership with ShelterHelps—and they’re ready to roll up their sleeves to make it happen!
You can support the team by donating toward their trip in exchange for help with odd jobs around your home. Whether it’s raking leaves, walking your dog, bringing in bottles, or doing housework, our team is ready to work hard (and get a little sweaty!) to serve you.
Every donation goes directly toward our ShelterHelps fundraising, helping us bring hope and stability to families in El Salvador.
Sign up today to request a team member and make a difference—both here and around the world!
We’ve had a beautiful hoodie designed specifically for our E-Free MSM & HSM youth and it is now available for the public to order until November 21, 2025!
This classic and tasteful sweater is solidly coloured on the front, but features a beautiful mountain scene sketch on the back with these words from Psalm 27:13 – “I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
Help Us Complete the Puzzle! You can be part of building homes—and hope—in El Salvador by purchasing a puzzle piece for $50. Each donation adds a piece to our display puzzle, marked with your initials, representing your role in helping our team of 20 build 24 houses this April.
Tax receipts will be issued by the Evangelical Free Church of Lethbridge.
Together, piece by piece, we’re building something lasting.
