WEST FRANKFORT, IL – (William McPherson – West Frankfort Gazette.  Please click on link above for the full story.  Here is a link below.)

Sometimes the best type of ministry involves a hammer and tape measure.

The project will be administered through a ministry program called Mission Serve from June 17-24. According to their website, Mission Serve has been involved in pre-packaged missions for over 20 years. Mission Serve partners with local city governments to assist in the rehabilitation of sub-standard housing. “We believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ and sharing His love through missions and home rehab. Mission Serve is a life-changing mission experience, and we encourage you to join us for one of our projects.”

“We spend a lot of money, unfortunately, tearing down homes,” Mayor Tom Jordan added. “So we’re also going to try to work the other side of this by making an investment in the community by helping them with material so that they can repair some of these homes.” Jordan added the homes repaired here are solid houses owned by low-income residents that need new roofs or other large projects. Jordan said this is the first year this project has taken place, and is hopeful that it will be a success and continue for a couple years.
