ReConstruct group shot

What a great year 2007 has been for ReConstruct. We give God all the glory for the way He has equipped this ministry and our participants to assist low-income homeowners with home repairs. Charts and graphs can't fully reflect the impact a ReConstruct project has in the personal lives of the people who serve and are served. There is no way to put a number on the emotional and spiritual change of a homeowner when it doesn't cost them anything to have their roof repaired. In the same way we can't "measure" the spiritual growth of a student or adult as they serve that homeowner. The only way this is done is through stories and testimonies. We share here only a few of the many stories of those changed lives. (more)

 

ReConstruct Golf Challenge

On Monday, April 23, 2007 over 30 local golfers raised $37,000 in our first annual ReConstruct Golf Challenge at the Old Natchez Country Club in Franklin. We were very pleased with the outcome for both the golfers and the funds raised for the first year of this type of event.

Kevin Jenks shares his experience as one of the participants in the first annual ReConstruct Golf Challenge. The goal of any fund raising event should be to raise awareness and then raise money. The Golf Challenge did that by educating the golfers about the ministry of ReConstruct and developing their interest to raise money by securing sponsorships. The result was not only a great golf outing but also significant dollars raised and additional contributors for ReConstruct. (more)

ReConstruct Participant grows up

As a participant, ReConstruct was truly a life changing experience. It wasn't my first mission trip, but it was the first that I didn't want to end. On past trips, by the end of the week, I was more than ready to head home to my own bed and finally get some rest. My first summer at ReConstruct was different. (more)

2007 Financial Information

From the many homeowners who have said, "I don't know what I'd have done if ReConstruct had not helped me," to the volunteer participant that serves them, these stories and testimonies are reminders of the importance of our mission, to equip and prepare students and adults for a lifetime of mission service.

As we look to the future and the areas in which ReConstruct will serve, our experience and ability as an organization will also be used to assist others who want to start a home repair ministry in their city. We consider this our way to disciple, mentor, and build the Kingdom.

For the first time, the growth of our  participation exceeded the City of Nashville's supply budget and we experienced a shortfall of funds for building materials this summer. Thankfully, no resident went unserved. With a long list of needy residents already in hand for 2008, we want to make sure that we have the financial means in place to serve them. In order to involve more participants and serve more homeowners, we need to supplement the funding for building materials.
