Do you know what war and a sewer plant have in common?

Without flushing toilets at Sandy Cove, this military family would not have been able to tell us their story:
“I got home from Afghanistan 18 months ago. I don’t know if it’s related to the deployment, but we saw our family dynamic not working well.

We know Jesus, but for some reason we haven’t been able to put His teachings into practice in our lives…”

History

In 2006, it became apparent to the Sandy Cove President and Board of Trustees that we needed to replace our worn out sewer. After more than 25 years of use, it simply was no longer doing the job. Toilets backed up. Maintenance men had to improvise and there were times when we wondered if we would have to close our doors. Without a properly running sewer, we prayed every day that the toilets would flush! And sometimes they didn’t!

In 2009, Sandy Cove Ministries officially engaged in The Sandy Cove Royal Flush capital campaign to raise $2.6 million dollars in an effort to replace our failing wastewater treatment plant (sewer) that had more than met its life expectancy of 20 years. Critical to the infrastructure of Sandy Cove, the replacement of our wastewater system was necessary for two reasons: so that Sandy Cove’s ministry of helping 32,000 people yearly connect to God and each other would continue without interruption; and so that we may continue to be good stewards of what God has entrusted to us at Sandy Cove, including taking excellent care of the environment and the Chesapeake Bay.

Our prayer is that the LORD would allow us to pay off the associated $2.6 million debt within 7 years through donations from our amazing and supportive friends…and through depreciation.
