Their address has changed. Their hearts haven’t moved.

Berachah Baptist Church, looking for additional space, moved from its First Avenue location late last year, and now holds Sunday services at Middletown High School. The Rev. Lamar Ferrell said the congregation is growing weekly, and he’s “overwhelmed” by God’s powers.

Those powers will be on display once again for four days in May when members of Berachah and community members perform a Hands & Feet “Extreme Makeover” and completely renovate the home of a deserving Middletown resident. This isn’t like a makeover you see on TV. These volunteers don’t demolish a house and start over. That would be too easy.

Instead, they take a dilapidated home and make the necessary repairs.

This will be the eighth “Extreme Makeover” performed by the Middletown church, and because eight represents “a new beginning,” Ferrell finds great significance in the number.

This makeover will be more extreme — and expensive — because the City of Middletown, which donated $25,000 to last year’s project on Yankee Road, has pulled its funding, Ferrell said. Last year’s project cost $36,000 in materials and supplies, so the other $11,000 came from the church and community.

Now the total cost falls on the church.

The congregation will support the church and its Middletown makeover mission, Ferrell said. He called Berachah “a giving place,” and whenever there’s a need, the church responds. Last year, a piece of cardboard with stickers was placed in the church lobby. Each sticker represented a project requirement: a refrigerator, cabinet, a sink, a toilet, carpet.

One by one, church members removed the pieces of paper.

Besides the financial support, the community performed hundreds of man hours, and the Rev. Clark Helvey, pastor of outreach and missions at Berachah, estimated the total cost of the renovations on Yankee Road at more than $100,000.

Berachah once again is seeking the input from the community to decide the next recipient of an “Extreme Makeover.” Last year, the church received more than 50 nominations, and that list was narrowed based on a person’s “legitimate needs.” Helvey said.

Ferrell said the church depends on Middletown residents because “we don’t know all their stories.”

During the years, they have blessed widows, a single mother with special needs children, a woman involved in social work dealing with battered and abused women, and a father battling cancer. Our neighbors. The person down the street.

Helvey said the project provides “hope where there’s hopelessness and we lift them up and give them a glimmer of hope.”

By the time the four-day, around-the-clock project is complete, Ferrell said the team of volunteers is worn out, what he called “a great exhaustion.”

So why put yourself, and more importantly, your congregation through another makeover? Doesn’t seven rhyme with heaven?

“Why would we want to stop?” Ferrell responded. “We are marching on. We are taking steps in a faithful direction. We have a responsibility to be ambassadors of hope.”

“This is our neighborhood; our mission field.”

And that place has no address.
