Securing Dates in Mexico and Rancho Casitas

As you can see from HoM’s online event calendar we have a large number of churches participating in our ministry. Because of this growth we need to have a safe way to secure dates on our HoM calendar.  So, here is what we need to have each group coordinator do to reserve dates in Mexico.

1. Go to www.handsofmercy.com - click  “Calendar” and choose dates that say “Date Available for …. Loft houses in Mexico”.  Check your church calendar and be sure there are no conflicts on your end.   Note: Prebuild dates are not an issue, as you can prebuild any day convenient for you.

2. Call Rick at 909 499-6734 and double check that those dates have not been verbally promised to another group, and we have not yet updated our website to remove that available date from the online calendar of events.

3. Once Rick confirms your chosen dates by phone, please go back online to www.handsofmercy.com – “Register” and fill out the online registration form immediately.  This will automatically place those dates on courtesy hold for 2 weeks allowing you time to arrange for payment of the $472.34 per house deposit to secure those dates. Please add $120 to your deposit if you need to rent an HoM trailer making your total $592.34.

4. Below are a couple of options for payment of facilitation fees to complete the confirmation of dates.

When you are on our homepage click on “register” and fill in the required fields. To complete this process, you can send a check Payable to Hands of Mercy to 300 E State St. Suite 470, Redlands Ca, 92373. Receipt of the $472.34(or $592.34 with trailer) per house deposit will secure those dates, and our Mexico team will begin to gather the recipient family information so you can start praying for them with your group. You also have the option of paying your registration fee online using your credit card through PayPal after you have filled out this form. You will incur a small fee for using your credit card(about $8 per house).

You can expect loft house recipient family information two Sundays prior to your Mexico dates.   We have found that doing this earlier can cause problems in the communities we serve so we appreciate your patience.

Call Rick if you have any questions. He will send you confirmation of receipt of your deposit and email you an invoice for the windows, stoves and roof caps and any other items you request that you will be receiving in Mexico. This invoice will also include lodging fee information.

You will want to set up lodging and meal arrangements with “Brian McCoy” at Rancho Casitas. Please contact him at your earliest convenience. His phone number is 909 748-1275. Be prepared to tell him when you will arrive, what meals you will want, and a rough number of participants staying at Rancho Casitas.
