ReCreation Experiences is a
501 ( c ) ( 3 ) faith based not for profit program. Founded in 1990,
the ministry grew out of a desire to provide quality mission experiences
where both the people receiving the work as well as the people doing
the work grow through the experience. The mission statement “Sharing
Our faith Through Home Repair Mission” reflects the commitment
on the part ReCreation Experiences and the teams who work with us
to provide quality work and service. ReCreation Experiences grew
out of five core concepts. These are foundation “building blocks” that
continue to keep us balanced and in tune with meeting both the needs
of work teams and the clients who receive the assistance we provide
them.
BLOCK ONE: All persons are entitled to warm, safe
and dry housing conditions. It is a God granted right that everyone
should have and enjoy. Sometimes due to financial circumstances this
right is difficult to maintain or obtain. As people of faith, it is
our responsibility to continue finding ways to better provide for the
housing needs that exist in our community.
BLOCK TWO: ReCreation Experiences will establish
and foster a solid reputation for providing quality programs that are
safe and affordable. We strive to be excellent "stewards" of
the people resources and the financial resources we work with.
BLOCK THREE: ReCreation Experiences will have programs
of integrity where both the client who receives the assistance and
the workers providing the service feel they are a priority of the ministry.
We serve you so you can serve others!
BLOCK FOUR: ReCreation Experiences will connect
a desire to work on the part of the work teams, with a viable need.
The work teams will perform legitimate work that meets a qualified
need of a homeowner. The work will benefit the homeowner in the long
term. More than just yard or cosmetic busy work, the work performed
will fill an immediate need or will be preventing a future problem
to occur. The work we do will allow the standard of living of the homeowner
to be at a higher level than before the work was performed.
BLOCK FIVE: Affirm our faith-based emphasis, stressing
that it is our responsibility borne of our individual and corporate
experiences to both reach out and serve our neighbors in need.
Be doers of the Word and not
hearers only...
(James 1:22)
"Sharing Our Faith Through Home Repair Mission"
| • |
We are, involved in the rehabilitating of homes which
in turn provides for the rehabilitating of neighborhoods, communities,
and most importantly, the lives of the residents and their neighbors. |
| • |
We are, involved in the education process of a generation
of young people, their adult leaders, and their churches or supporting
organizations. We partner the need of the low and median income population
of our area, with an individual or groups desire to serve that population
through home repair. The result is the client is assisted and the
awareness on the part of the worker to the need that exists and their
ability to help meet that need is heightened. |
| • |
We are encouraging the development of programming
that our partner work teams can create in their own communities.
These programs will assist in addressing the issues of poverty, substandard
housing and other issues that affect the poor in their own home areas. |
ReCreation Experiences provides a faith based outlet for individuals
and groups who feel called and compelled to respond to these issues
out of their sense of faith. Our volunteers and work teams extend assistance
to those who have a need for home rehab assistance. In doing so, a
problem is fixed, a life touched or changed, and the mission of ReCreation
Experiences is one step closer to be being fulfilled.
