In November 2024, a devastating fire struck our beloved historical site, Fields of the Wood. The fire completely destroyed our maintenance building and most of the equipment we use to care for our properties. Due to the extensive structural damage, we had to demolish the building entirely. The total loss has been estimated at $512,000. While our insurance company has provided $276,261, we are still facing a significant shortfall.
As many of you know, we rely heavily on donations to maintain our historical properties. We are asking for your support to help us recover from this setback. Would you consider making a donation to assist us in the rebuilding? Every dollar makes a difference. You can donate directly at fowrenew.org or send a check to Heritage Ministries at the International Offices (P.O. Box 2910, Cleveland, TN 37320-2910).
Additionally, if you are interested in volunteering or organizing a volunteer team, please contact us at heritageministries@cogop.org. With spring approaching, there is always plenty of cleaning, painting, and other work to be done. This could be a wonderful home missions project for your youth group, men’s group, or any other group.
Thank you for your continued support of this great ministry. Despite the challenges of 2024, we were blessed to complete a full reconstruction of our main entrance. We have exciting plans for 2025, including rebuilding the maintenance building. Follow us on Facebook to stay updated on our progress and learn how you can get involved.
