Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

I've blogged on this TV show previously. There is very little on television worth watching, but Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a shining jewel among the waste heap of broadcast shows. If you haven't seen this show before, check it out. It makes me cry on a weekly (or is that weakly?) basis. It is my dream to have a church ministry similar to this, perhaps not exactly on this scale, but helping people like this nonetheless. Yes, I am aware of Habitat for Humanity, but I want something overtly Christian, part of a local church.

Focus on the Family Participates in October 2 Episode
of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Colorado Springs, CO – Focus on the Family will participate in this weekend’s episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, airing Sunday, Oct. 2 on the ABC Television Network.

In addition to its participation in the October 2 episode, Focus hosted the Barrett family yesterday at its Colorado Springs campus for a special visit. The highlight of the day was a meeting with Focus founder and chairman Dr. James Dobson. The Peyton, Colorado family of eight also enjoyed a VIP tour of the Focus on the Family campus, lunch with the staff, a visit with Focus on the Family president and CEO Jim Daly, a trip to the broadcasting studios for a behind-the-scenes look at the popular Adventures in Odyssey children’s radio program, and interviews with the Brio and Breakaway teen magazine staffs.

“There is nothing more rewarding than helping others, and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is a great example of this principle in action,” says Jim Daly, President and CEO of Focus on the Family. “We at Focus on the Family are honored to participate in such a worthy cause.”
