Our Story

The image slider above shows our story in real time: we had begun building and improving the structure, but during COVID-19 the site was robbed and stripped—wiring, materials, and key fixtures were taken—leaving the building unsafe and unusable. Because of the damage and delay, we also lost momentum and time on permitting, and the structure has sat deteriorating.

The God’s Little World Campus Rebuild Fund transforms this unsafe, unusable structure into our first free working campus hub—a walk-through “mini-city” simulation environment designed to help young adults practice real-world choices before the stakes are real. This rebuild creates a safe open interior, a covered Boardwalk Village welcome space, and the first mission anchors (a prayer/quiet corner and a bake-ready kitchenette). When funded, we’ll host an Open House + Blessing of the Space and begin pilot runs on the rebuilt campus.

Demolition + Concrete Start + Permits + Full Site Plan

  • Pull core permits: demo + rebuild planning/coordination
  • Demolish existing structure (protect slab edges; clean haul-off)
  • Concrete scope for 20×30 expansion: site measurements + marking + base prep + either full pour or deposit + prep if bids come in higher than $10k
  • Full site plan for the entire property (concept layout + approvals path)
  • Verify existing plumbing rough-ins / document for inspection path (as applicable)

Outcome: Old building is gone, the project is legally/technically “real,” and concrete is underway (at minimum fully prepped and scheduled).

Guardrail: full demo + full 20×30 slab sometimes exceeds $10k depending on haul-off, grading, and rebar. If bids exceed, Phase 1 still ends with demo complete + slab fully prepped + contractor scheduled/paid deposit so momentum is visible.

Framing + Sheathing/Wrap + Roof + Doors/Windows (Lockable Shell)

  • Wood framing for the 12×75 core + tie-in to the 20×30 expansion
  • Sheathing + Tyvek/WRB (weather barrier)
  • Roof installed (proper slope + flashing)
  • Exterior doors installed + lockable
  • Windows installed or framed and securely closed (depending on budget/security)
  • Temporary site security basics (locks, lighting) if not already installed

Outcome: A weather-tight, lockable shell — no open building inviting vandalism.

Exterior Finish + Deck/Boardwalk + Core Interior Build + Electrical

  • Exterior siding/paneling installed (simple, durable—no fancy façade)
  • Build the deck / boardwalk perimeter elements that are part of the airport feel
  • Interior framing for bathrooms + basic functional zones (keep most space open)
  • Electrical: rough-in + fixtures + outlets + panel work as needed for safe use
  • Basic interior finishes needed for safe program use (paint, trim as needed)

Outcome: The building becomes usable (safe interior, lighting, power, key partitions).

Mission Build-Out: Chapel + Kitchenette + Airport Check-In + Core Props + 20’ High Cube

  • Build the small chapel (your peaceful 2–4 person meditation space)
  • Build the online-only cookie kitchenette (bake-focused, simple setup)
  • Airport “check-in” zone buildout (counter, signage, queue logic)
  • Acquire core simulation props/resources (starter set that can expand later)
  • Purchase and place a 20’ high cube container
    • Phase 4 includes purchase + delivery + set on blocks/pad;
    • Interior “airplane” conversion can be Phase 5+ if funds tighten.

Outcome: Your space starts to feel like God’s Little World, not just a building.

Site Readiness: Parking/Surface + Landscaping + Final Signage + Open House

  • Parking/surface improvements within budget (typically gravel + geotextile + striping plan; asphalt would usually exceed $10k)
  • Landscape cleanup + low-maintenance approach (gravel field + defined nature barrels/planters)
  • Final on-site signage (banner/wayfinding)
  • Open House / Blessing / Launch event (simple, dignified)

Outcome: The campus is presentable, navigable, and ready to host.

  • Phase 1: $10,000
  • Phase 2: $25,000
  • Phase 3: $30,000
  • Phase 4: $20,000
  • Phase 5: $10,000
    Total: $95,000

When This Phase Is Complete

Ribbon-cutting, open house, and first full walkthrough

When the goal is reached, supporters, families, and community partners will be invited to the opening of God’s Little World Campus. Guests will move through check-in, boarding, the simulated flight, and the little world itself—seeing how the campus helps young adults practice work, money, systems, and next-step choices before the stakes are real. The event will include a ribbon-cutting, open house, light refreshments, and a first look at the research and evidence behind the model.
