Another answered prayer is one of Hylandales' old buildings called the "Health Home" which was once used to house the elderly and has been empty for the last 10 years. The building is solid and with some renovation will once more be a blessing to the community. Clean up and restoration began January 2004. Our goal for the building is to train youth in health principles, evangelism and love for others the way Christ showed love. There is a great need to train our youth to be productive citizens in their community.
The Hylandale Youth Haven will be a retreat type building that will provide a beautiful place for people of all ages to stay where they can enjoy hiking, nature, non competitive sports, music, healthful meals and evangelistic training.
The estimated cost for materials for Hylandale Youth Haven is approximately $100,000 dollars and we are praying that the Lord will bring volunteers to come and donate their time to help save on labor expenses. We are currently in need of funds for the foundation, the roof, windows, wiring, plumbing and an addition that will be added to the south side of the building. The home has 9 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms besides a large living, dinning, and kitchen area.
We are excited as we see Gods leading here in the Hylandale valley and we pray that we can be a shining light to our community and to the whole world, "Isaiah chapter 60."
How can you help? With your prayers, volunteer hours and your financial support. Currently our goal is to have Hylandale Youth Haven finished by summer 2006.
