More Than Hammers and Paint Brushes


Our Housing Ministry is so much more than hammers and paint brushes. The families we are able to help are exposed to God's love in a tangible and meaningful way, and our faith is lifted as well. A volunteer group from Boones Creek in Johnson City, Tennessee came to Birmingham this week to help CSM paint a house for the Mixon family. They were finished in a day and a half! The Mixons were kind enough to cook lunch onsite Wednesday and Thursday. We played with the children of the house and were able to entertain them (no wait... they entertained us!) while we were there. Then on Thursday, we started a new project painting the Harris’s house. The group from Boones Creek was able to get most of the trim painted for this house. They survived the heat and some unusual challenges with big smiles and hearts.
