God Does Make House Calls
We invite you to spend
a week this summer rebuilding homes and lives in the
Richmnod Metro ara. Construct porches and reconstruct hope. Brighten
up
homes with new walls and paint while you brighten up lives with the love of
Jesus Christ. At
the end of the week your group will have gained work skills
plus a greater understanding of the fact that "yes
we are our brother's
(sister's)keepers."
