A Brooklyn church known for helping its neighbors is asking
for some assistance with a construction issue.
Faith, Hope and Charity House of God in Brownsville began
construction last winter to fix a crack in the church's wall. However, the
church ran out of money to finish the construction, resulting in an unfinished
sanctuary.
Church leaders say it's been nearly impossible to have
services at the church in its current condition.
Despite these hardships, the church still gives back,
hosting weekly giveaways of school supplies, diapers, clothes, masks and more.
The church's bishop says they don't want to burden their
members with helping with repairs.
"We don't really want to receive any financial support
in that manner, but maybe there's a company that can come in and just help us
out,” says Bishop Willie Billips. “All we want to do is serve, but we want to
be in a position where we can open the doors wide open and say come on back in,
community.”
The church says any support would be appreciated so they can
get back to doing the work they feel called to do.
