God's mercy and justice is revealed so clearly through our Housing Ministry. The leadership team, the SWAT team, and the many volunteers who work so hard to impact our city are like an army of angels! During 2016, Christian Service Mission completed 25 housing rehabilitation projects for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). In doing these 25 projects, we recruited 236 volunteers who served a total of 18,250 hours. The types of projects we completed included painting, roofing, deck repair and installation of vinyl siding.
CSM raised funds for an additional fourteen housing ministry projects apart from the CDBG that generated approximately 2,760 more volunteer hours. Currently, we are raising funds to rehabilitate the exterior and interior of Carl Jackson’s home. Carl is the son of our faithful front desk volunteer, Mrs. Jackson. This week, volunteers are here from Redeemer in Baltimore, Maryland to re-roof the house. Mrs. Jackson is blessing them every day with a home-cooked meal prepared by her loving hands, and expressing her gratitude and hospitality through her amazing culinary skills she so often lavishes on us at CSM.
If you would like to volunteer to assist the Housing Ministry team with this project, or like to donate toward this project, please contact Michael Bowen at Michael@csmission.org.
