His House Children's Home-Opportunity is knocking!

Tuesday, Shari and I took a road trip up towards North Miami to scope out "His House Children's Home". This ministry offers help and hope to families in crisis. HHCH is a faith-based non-profit organization dedicated to restoring joy in the lives of children and their families. Their daily goal is to restore the emotional and physical well being of children through an array of services in a loving and nurturing environment. HHCH has been selected to assist families in the USA who are in the process of adopting children from Haiti. They are working to provide housing for Haitian orphans that are being brought to the USA who are already in the pipeline of the adoption process. Two buildings in desperate need of rehab and updating have been provided to them. Already work teams from Tennessee and Central Florida have arrived and completed the following in one building: electrical, plumbing, bathroom tile work, drywall installation, installation of tubs, sinks and toilets as well as all the interior rooms have been painted.

We have been asked to come and make this first building clean and usable for the arrival of these Haitian children. Volunteers are needed to clean all the bathrooms, bedrooms, common living areas and the kitchen. We will also be stripping the floors and providing a new coat of wax to help make this facility shine! We are putting together a work team to meet and depart from the church this Monday Feb.8th @ 8:30 am. If you would like to assist in this worthwhile project please contact the church office (305-271-4094) and let Neyda Teijeiro ( nteijeiro@sunsetchapel.com) know that you are available! Here is an opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of some children that need a helping hand.

To assist our work team we will be receiving an offering this Sunday Feb. 7th, to defray the expenses to purchase cleaning materials, renting floor buffing equipment, purchasing shower curtains, rings and rods, and to purchase a new kitchen dishwasher. You can make an online donation by going to our sunsetchapel.com home page and select "other", then beside the amount you are donating please type in "His House".
