FLUVANNA COUNTY, Va (WVIR) – The group Impact Virginia is partnering with the Fluvanna County Chapter of Habitat for Humanity to work on 11 different homes in the coming days. This project is bringing 200 teens from around the commonwealth to the county.

Coordinator for Impact Virginia, Glenn Maddox says the people they serve typically can’t make those repairs themselves because of physical disabilities or financial hardship. “Our goal when we go into an area is to identify people who are in need, and our goal is to ensure that people are safe, warm, and dry, so we find people who need a repair to their home.”

Groups will head out to the 11 sites at 8 a.m. Monday to begin work. They expect to be finished by Saturday.

Impact Virginia Comes to Tazewell to Help Those in Need

June 18, 2015 by Impact Mission Camps Leave a Comment

POCAHONTAS, VA (WVVA) “It’s such a great opportunity. I love it, it’s one of my favorite things to do.

For Impact Virginia staffer Mikayla Clarke, volunteering and getting kids from all over Virginia to come along is the highlight of her summer.

“I feel like it just really opens up the kids eyes to what they have and what other people don’t have,” says Clarke. “It really just bonds them with Christ a little bit more and it’s just great to see that bond and them just actually enjoying that work. It doesn’t seem like work when you’re out here.”

Others who are working with Impact Virginia this year couldn’t agree more.

“Kind of just like an indescribable feeling,” says camper Hannah Royal. “You just feel so great for what you have just done, just there is no other feeling.”

The crews have been out here working in the hot summer sun all week long. And even though it’s hot the campers agree that the results are definitely worth it.

“It’s satisfying,” says camper Nathan Simpson. “You’re still of course tired but you can rest assured that the people have been helped.”

The crews traveled from all over Virginia to help those in the Tazewell County area. One of the homes the crews are working on belongs to cancer patient Viola Dudley. While she is getting treatment in North Carolina the crews have fixed her staircase and put a new roof on her house. Her nephew, Larry Dudley says it means the world.

“I think it’s very good,” says Dudley. “Like I said it’s a blessing but for them to do that on their time when they could be enjoying the summer. They’ve been in school for 3-4 months but then still they took the time out to come and what makes it so good is to fix somebody’s house they don’t even know and never met. But they’re doing it like it’s their house.”

STAUNTON [News Leader] – Terri Ellinger carefully navigated the foot-deep holes in her front yard as she handed two planks to one of the teens working on a wheelchair ramp Wednesday morning.

“Be very careful,” said Lee Warren, one of the coordinators for the project.

“I am, I really am,” Ellinger replied.

The Staunton woman has limited mobility and spends most of her time in an electric wheelchair. Not having a ramp to her trailer, she has been mostly trapped in her home, Warren said.

Thanks to Renewing Homes of Greater Augusta, Memorial Baptist Church in Staunton and Impact Virginia — a one-week construction mission undertaken by youths from Baptist churches all over the state — Ellinger will have a way to get in and out of her home by the end of the week.

An ‘impact’ful anniversary gift

Diane and Richard Banks received a fourth wedding anniversary gift they’ll never forget.

Crews from Impact Virginia swarmed the Banks’ house putting a new roof and a new deck on the home just off Sperryville Pike in the town of Culpeper Tuesday.

“This is the best anniversary present I could have ever gotten,” Diane Banks said.

One of several projects taking place through the county sponsored by the Shiloh Baptist Association and the Virginia Baptist Mission Board, Impact Virginia is a program where youth, ages 14 through 18, perform needed construction projects under the supervision of a qualified contractor.

Karen Butcher, of Impact, was the assistant crew chief while her husband Paul directed the volunteers. She said all materials are bought by contributions provided by the more than 200 volunteers or is donated by local businesses.

Each volunteer pays $275 during the week-long mission trip. Butcher said there are 168 kids involved and, with adults, the number is around 220 people.

“It is our way of giving back,” Karen Butcher said. “We’ve all been so blessed. It’s so rewarding and it’s good for the kids. Our teenagers are learning to help others, to get involved with missions and to get involved with the community. They need to learn that and be taught that.”

Merry Christmas! Isaiah 9:2-7 The people who walke Merry Christmas!
Isaiah 9:2-7
The people who walked in darkness
  have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
 on them has light shone.
You have multiplied the nation;
 you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
  as with joy at the harvest,
 as they are glad when they divide the spoil.
For the yoke of his burden,
 and the staff for his shoulder,
 the rod of his oppressor,
 you have broken as on the day of Midian.
For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
  and every garment rolled in blood
  will be burned as fuel for the fire.
For to us a child is born,
 to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
 and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
 Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
  there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
 to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
  from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

Take time to pray together this Christmas Eve. I Take time to pray together this Christmas Eve.

 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.  This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.  And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,  to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.  And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.  And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
 and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:1-14

How will you show love in the coming year? Romans How will you show love in the coming year?
Romans 16:25-27
Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
