A Group Home for the Developmentally Disabled Grand Ledge and Dewitt, Michigan

| Our Dewitt home for six developmentally disabled ladies is underway. The property is located 1107 Turner Street, Capital Campaign for ‘Chosen Vision – DeWitt!’ In the 2007-2011 Michigan Developmental Disabilities State
Plan, it is estimated that 1.8 percent of Chosen Vision
offers a Christian alternative – a lifestyle grounded on biblically based
Christian values and standards.
The success of our first home in Grand Ledge has encouraged us to replicate this
arrangement with a second home in the greater Lansing area, ‘Chosen
Vision-DeWitt. ‘ Through
a generous donation of a beautiful walkout building site and over $100,000 of
in-kind construction donations, we have a good financial foundation in place.
But, our goal is to complete the construction of the home debt free!
The $550,000 budget for this home includes not just the lot (which has
already been donated), but covers the cost of construction, furnishing, window
treatments, and decorating, so that the home is “turnkey” for six (6) more
very special residents in waiting. God has been nudging our Board of Directors at Chosen Vision to build for the last five (5) years. Through the gift of a beautiful lot in DeWitt, the generosity of our builder, Tom Motz, the pouring in of in-kind donations through his subcontractors, and nearly $150,000 in pledge donations, we have started the construction. Amy
Russell, one of our six residents at Chosen Vision–Grand Ledge, will
eventually be moving into our new home in DeWitt once completed. She wrote the
following and shared it with us at a fundraising breakfast held on November 9th:
“When I came to Chosen Vision I was the only resident here.
God sent me here to do my job to make this home more like Him.
He sent more residents and more staff to help out in this ministry.
God is in the making of opening up another home for Chosen Vision.
It is the DeWitt home for girls. I
am nervous about leaving our first home but God said that my work is not done
yet.” If you
would like the opportunity to partner with us to make Chosen Vision-DeWitt a
reality for Amy and five additional women, please feel free to call us at
517.622.0574 or designate your gift to
“Chosen Vision – DeWitt.” Below is a Dewitt supplement to our Chosen Vision newsletter: Chosen Vision DeWitt Newsletter August 2011.pdf and, if you're interested in looking at pictures of the construction progress, please visit: www.chosenvisiondewittresidence.shutterfly.com You can also look at the actual building plans: Dewitt Home/GroupHomeElevations11-2.pdf Dewitt Home/GroupHomeFloorPlan11-2.pdf THANKING YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
