SELL? TRY CLASSIFIED By Jeff Stoll A very popular television show in recent years was Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The program always had a very touching story of a family’s heartache and circumstance. While the show sent the family on a vacation, a group of people would totally renovate the home while they were away. The home’s amazing transformation was hardly recognizable to the homeowners upon their return. This program was recently cancelled by the network. Some residents of Huron County have been doing their own version of Extreme Makeover Home Edition for the past six years. There is very little chance that this project will get cancelled! Huron Chapel Evangelical Missionary Church, has been sending teams to build houses in the Latin American country of El Salvador for years now to provide and help build houses for the less fortunate people of El Salvador. Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada has been involved in the house building project in El Salvador for about 10 years. Each season dozens of teams from across Canada descend upon El Salvador to help change the lives of families in the impoverished country by building them a home. Teams have come from Calgary, Sarnia, Listowel, Kitchener and Auburn to name a few. El Salvador is located south of Guatemala, west of Honduras and north of Costa Rica on the Pacific Ocean. This tropical country is very hot and dry from October to April, which is the ‘season’ for the building teams to do their work. The rest of the year is very wet and doesn’t make for good building conditions. The country is still recovering from the unrest caused by its civil war some 10 years ago. The country has about 7,000,000 inhabitants of which 2,000,000 live in the capital of San Salvador, the rest of the people are mostly farmers spread out in tiny villages throughout the mountainous, volcanic nation. The teams from Canada work with the local people to build the homes for these people that are in the small villages in the mountains. The extreme makeover for these people is to go from a mud hut to a 16' x 20' steel house complete with cement floors and doors that lock. These volunteer home builders raise the money to purchase the homes through various fundraising efforts in their home churches in Canada. Each home costs approximately $3,000. Since the house building project began 10 years ago in El Salvador, teams from Canada have purchased and built 300 houses before the start of the 2011-12 season. In the past year two families from Canada have moved to El Salvador as full-time missionaries. Trent and Kerrie-Lynn Berstad and Stuart and Carie McAllister moved their entire families (four children under 10 in each family) to the town of San Vicente, El Salvador to oversee the house building projects. The Berstads and McAllisters live in the same house. Having these families in the mission field full time has made dramatic changes to the initiative in El Salvador. From the start of this building season in October to now, the last team of the year is just finishing up this week, there have been 160 houses built. Huron Chapel in Auburn has sent nine teams and built 57 houses in the last six years. In total 99 people from Auburn and area have participated on these teams with many repeat team members. Forty-two different people have gone to El Salvador to build houses and relationships. CPH Aux. sale a success Local chapel teams help build homes in El Salvador Continued from page 16 present an inclusive plan of transformation? What is worth cashing in some leadership credit? What will really make a difference in the long haul? God’s future desire already exists in the world in which we live. However, it will only seem evident to us as we seek those divergent questions. The right questions will reframe our challenge in ways designed to prompt discussions and decisions. And that in turn, will direct us to meet squarely the future that is hurdling towards us at breakneck speed. What is this all about, simply the truth. The truth as revealed in Mark’s view of the Parable of the Sower. Praise is to God for the truth. Amen. Questions reveal God’s plan The auxiliary to Clinton Public Hospital met at St. Paul’s Anglican Parish Hall on Monday, Oct. 1 with 29 members present. The 58th annual penny sale was a huge success with more prizes donated and more income realized than in 2011. Members were given a list of costly items that the hospital has purchased thanks to the auxiliary’s fundraising for the past five years. The total spent was $94,719. Without the community support and the volunteer work these contributions to the hospital would not be possible. Thank you to all whom assisted in this mammoth event. Friday, Nov. 30 will be the Gift of Light Celebration. Tickets are for sale from members or at the gift shop in the hospital. Four members will attend the Annual HAAO Conference in Toronto. The next meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 12 at 9:30 a.m. in the newly-refreshed Clinton Public Hospital conference room.
