A year and a half ago we completed our first Augment Project (see it here). It was an old condemned house that we purchased very cheap and rebuilt for a lady in Childress who needed one. It was an awesome project that the whole community of Childress helped with. In March of last year, we [...]

We’ll we’ve officially kicked off our 2nd Augment Project in Childress. The extreme home makeover will become a big three-bedroom home for a family with two small children and twins on the way. We’re excited about this project and can’t wait to get this little family in their new house. I’ll post some more pictures [...]

Giving away houses … that’s amazing. I have been honored to be a part of Childress’ very own Extreme Home Makeover. In just over four months the community of Childress has taken a house that was to be demolished and totally renovated it. There were so many different people who worked on this project.  I’m [...]

I thought it was amazing to see so many people from so many different backgrounds working together. I love doing ministry for others and last [...]

This Sunday night (September 26th) we’ll have a BIG crew working on the Augment Project (303 H N.W.) We’ll be starting at 5:30, and we’re asking the community to show up. We’ve had the old garage torn down this week and the trees trimmed up. Both the garage and the trees are lying in a [...]
