H.O.M.E. Summer Missions Project
Mark your calendars and grab a hammer! Plan to help with the H.O.M.E. project this summer from June 30th to July 5th!
For a third year in a row, College Park Baptist is partnering with Grifton Mission Ministries to provide safer living conditions for the residents of Pitt County. In previous years, we have had the opportunity to build an entirely new house from the foundation to the furnishings, replacing old condemned houses with brand new houses! Unfortunately, Pitt County is experiencing a funding shortage and is unable to provide the same assistance for a whole house project this summer. Taking the time to build whole houses has made a huge impact on a few of the residents of Winterville. However, this year we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of a greater number of residents by building ramps that attach to their houses. This year we will still be able to work side by side to construct the ramps in a centralized location. Once a ramp is complete, a smaller team will install the ramps at their new residence.
Each year the community has taken notice of our Christ-like love as we help to provide for those in need of assistance. Lets continue this year, not for our own recognition, but to be the body of Christ and shine His light in the darkness.
Jesus said in Matthew 25:35-36,40, "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
