Arms of Hope changes the lives of children and families in crisis by providing a haven for the broken-hearted in need of emotional and spiritual healing. Their Medina Campus is strategically planning for the construction of a Campus Chapel which will include a sanctuary with a seating capacity of 250 people, classrooms, an intimate prayer room and accessory spaces. The chapel will meet a facility need which does not currently exist in which residents of the Medina Campus can attend church activities, receive weekly counseling and rest in a quite place for therapeutic growth and healing. With around 150 residents in their care the Campus Chapel not only addresses their current challenges and therefore gives residents the best chance for success, but will also provide hope and peace to many for years to come.

2] CAMP TEJAS - DINING HALL EXPANSION
www.camptejas.org
Camp Tejas is an interdenominational Christian camp whose mission is to minister to the body of Christ through discipleship by providing accommodations, activities, and training that focus on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The dining hall has always been the central gathering location of Camp Tejas where you can fellowship, eat, and get a hot cup of coffee. Camp Tejas is strategically planning the expansion and renovation of the current dining hall facility to include approximately 20,000 square feet of additional dining areas, a conference room, food service areas, support facilities, and restrooms. The current seating capacity of the dining hall is at about 175 while the average number of guests per meal is over 250 with many meals in the summer exceeding 550. This project will expand the indoor seating to at least 480 and the outdoor seating to over 100. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2011 in coordination with the 30th anniversary celebration of Camp Tejas.
