From May 3–5, hundreds of supporters came together for our 2025 Kansas City Celebration to raise funds for the Mission and learn about its efforts to improve access to safe, reliable water in the rural communities surrounding San Lucas.

We are deeply grateful to the supporters who made the weekend possible—especially our co-hosts, Rogers and Peg Strickland.

Special thanks to those who traveled to speak at the event, including Mission Construction Program Director Julio Cesar Morales and Assistant Director Veronica Castro, Dr. Paul Wise, and Bruce Clemens.

We also want to thank our major sponsors: Avid Building Systems, Attic Storage, Strickland Construction, Brian & Ronda Mathiowetz, Anonymous, James & Jan Seifert, Wiley & Beverly Smith Family, and Bill Mann & Mary Reynolds.

Thank you to everyone involved for helping us build a more just world!
