Bushes to Bedrooms?

By CLAIM director Carl Vonnoh

Well, not exactly. But your help is needed with the building of three houses in Chattanooga, Tennessee. BIMI received a donation of three lots. We thank God for the generosity of a Christian businessman in Chattanooga. The Finance Committee of BIMI has approved for CLAIM to build three staff houses. The land will be cleared soon and transformed from bushes and trees into houses.

YOUR HELP is NEEDED! Skilled tradesmen and laborers are needed. Food and a place to stay will be provided for you. The following is our tentative schedule for completing this project.
