Our First Makeover

After about two months of preparation, the weekend had arrived for our first ministry makeover! We were so excited and blessed that Michele Kassa had given us the opportunity to makeover her 5 bedroom, 3 bath foster home. Michele serves as The Rock Church's Deaf Ministry leader, as well as serving as the only foster care home for deaf & special needs teens in the San Diego County. She has served so much in the deaf community, as well as the community at The Rock Church, and we were so excited to create a warm and organized home for her and her family.
Her home houses 6 foster teens, weekly bible studies and small group meetings, as well as many friends and family visiting. Our ministry volunteered over 1,000  hours of preparation for two months from organization, to cleaning, to space planning and designing. During the four day weekend of the makeover, we had over 50 volunteers participate and work over 650 hours!!! We were so blessed with the awesome turn out from volunteers! They helped us move out furniture, move in furniture, paint walls, paint furniture, assemble furniture, dust/clean/vacuum, clean paint brushes....pretty much anything you can think of. After three days of hard work, it was time for Michele and the kids to come back home for the big reveal and we were all so excited!!! We gave them the whole tour of the space and they LOVED it!!! We were so blessed and so thankful for everyone's help during this makeover and we couldn't have completed it without your help! Thank you to all the volunteers!!!
Below are a few pictures of the makeover results and a short film that Rock TV created during the makeover weekend. Check out our "Makeovers" page for the full slideshow of pictures.
