One of the reasons Cornerstone Remodeling exists is that Nathan McGranahan & Aaron Shaul are deeply committed to helping the needy, lost, and hurting.
Coming from that vision, 'Cornerstone Gives Back' was born. The purpose of this initiative is to serve people here in Omaha, as well as around the world.
Projects involved with in Omaha include Step Out (the largest city-wide service day in the nation), Royal Family Kids Camp, and Habitat for Humanity.
YouthBuild - A program of Goodwill that provides opportunities to disadvantaged youth. Cornerstone has joined YouthBuild and Habitat for Humanity in building a house for a low-income family.
Three of the global projects currently involved with are:
Haiti - In March, Aaron lead a team from Brookside Church to do relief work in earthquake ravaged Port-Au-Prince.
In 30 seconds Haiti went from the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere to probably the poorest country in the world. Answering the call to help, the team helped with
much needed food/water relief, as well as rebuilding work. The trip was physically demanding, but it was a great opportunity to help those in severe need.
Mexico - Aaron, Nathan, Blake and Abe traveled down to Tlanchinol, Mexico in March with a team from Brookside
Church to assist building a pastor's house and church. It was a very successful trip and much was accomplished on the construction of the building.
Zambia - The Hope Center in Zambia, a project of Brookside Church, is a care center for AIDS orphans.
Zambia is a country struggling with a sky-rocketing AIDS problem, one of the highest orphan rates in the world and extreme poverty. Aaron has able to travel there several
times and is returning in July, 2011 for several weeks. While there, he plans to assist the local pastors in their ministry, do construction work on the facility,
and show God's love in a practical way to kids who desperately need it. Cornerstone hopes that by assisting with the Hope Center, lives can be saved and children be given hope. To learn more, click here.
