April Project Summary

Psalm 118:22 - “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”

You may not have known this but our property, before it was ours, was a pitch and putt golf course that was right behind our Founder’s home. When it went up for sale, we didn’t even know! Many others came to see it but there were few, if any, serious offers. Many serious building companies in the area rejected this property due to the high cost and minimal benefit for their bottom line. Too much floodplain area, bad for them, good for H*VMI with our program wanting open recreational space! Too many trees and slopes, again bad for them, good for us! The stream and the pond splitting the property in half complicated things for a development, bad for them, perfect for our programs with the H*VMI office on one side and the Camp/Retreat/Training Buildings on the other.

Although this land was largely rejected by builders, God selected it for H*VMI. The Truth from His Word that will be shared here will serve to bless many for years to come! Praise the Lord for His perfect plan for this ministry and read on to see what has been done on site since our last update.

  • The Building Pad was completed and marked out for the footers for the H*VMI Office.

  • Trees have been planted in the floodplain. This will help to control storm water and bring beauty to the property as well as shade for walking paths and activities.

  • AMES Construction Company has moved on site.

  • Footers for the H*VMI Office were dug in and installed.

  • The parking lot and driveway were “rocked in.”

  • The plumbers and electricians are running conduit and pipes under the floor before they pour the slab.
