Building Homes…Building Lives!
The Second Saturday Service Project in conjunction with Watermark members have teamed up with Builders of Hope to restore 3347 Canada Drive. We (with the help of licensed contractors) will take this project from start to finish to restore this home and to restore lives. This home was acquired from a slum landlord in an effort to change the course of West Dallas. This home served as a drug house and will become a beautiful home for a contributing member of West Dallas. That is how we will restore this home; here is how we will restore lives.
Builders of Hope has a work crew fellowship that witnesses and disciples to convicted felons to start a productive life for them and their family with Jesus Christ as the foundation. As a reward for tremendous progress, we have selected two work crew members to help manage this project from start to finish. In addition to the tremendous sense of accomplishment gained from the completion of this project, they will also serve as apprentices to the various skilled contractors that will help us complete this project.
The Second Saturday Service Project is a standing service opportunity which will be the Second Saturday of each month from 09:00am to 12:30pm. 3347 Canada Dr. will be our location for May, June, and July. Once we complete this project, we will start another home in August, and replicate this process again and again. For this project, the Watermark member base will provide labor for demolition, painting, and landscape. All in all, we will donate over $8,000 in labor, and all it will cost us is just a few hours on a Saturday morning. We still need a few service volunteers for May, and have several spots open for June, July, and August. Please get with your community groups and friends and commit to a Second Saturday. You can email us, or call Todd Fields at 214-558-8079 to commit.
