“What an amazing day!” was the sentiment of all 1000+ participants for the March Compton Clean up Day.  Seven homes around Citizen’s of Zion Missionary Baptist Church were painted, cleaned and or landscaped, as well as multiple buildings of the church were painted.  Across the street, at Whaley Middle School at least 400 volunteers painted nine of the schools buildings and the massive fence that surrounds the school.  The tennis courts were also cleaned up, walkways swept, weeds pulled, etc.  The principle of Whaley, Dr. Eric Todd was beaming as he personally thanked practically every volunteer.

Several homes on Burris were worked on as well as several more in the neighborhood surrounding Faith Inspirational Church near Wilson Park.

Councilwoman Lillie Dobson, CUSD Board Member Emma Sharif and Pastor B.T. Newman of Citizen’s of Zion also thanked the participants at the end-of-the day luncheon. 

Participants came as far away San Jose State University, Saddleback Church in South Orange County as well as 7 local Compton churches, the church of Paramount and multiple local organizations like the Young Marines, Compton United Soccer Club, and Whaley Middle School students and teachers.

This event has happened five times a year since 2006 and has grown from 150 participants to this month’s showing of over 1000!

HIV/AIDS Ministry Development Training

• Does your church have an HIV/AIDS Ministry?

• How has your congregation responded to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is infecting and affecting our Black community?

Over 50 volunteers, mostly from West Coast Sand and Gravel in Buena Park, scraped, painted, plastered, dug and landscaped Alisha and her family's home.  "We have been here over forty years and we have never seen anything like this", she exclaimed.  She expected a three or four painters to do a little bit on the house, but she became quickly overwhelmed when she saw all the vehicles and volunteers arrive bearing paint, ladders, rollers, etc.

This past Saturday, over 600 volunteers participated in the most recent Compton Intiative Work Day, making it the most populated work day so far!  One hundred and sixty people drove up from Saddleback Church in south Orange County for the day, along with forty staff and college students from Campus Crusade for Christ, as well as over fifty students from Biola and University California at Irvine.

Six Compton churches including, Faith Inspirational Missionary Baptist Church, Citizen's of Zion Missionary Baptist, The Salvation Army- Compton Corps, and New Birth Foursquare Church had close to 200 volunteers represented.

Thirteen different sites were worked on, most of which were on Alisha's street, Rose close to Faith Inspirational Missionary Baptist Church.  Two of those locations were churches, Faith Inspiratonal and Martin Temple, but the others were private homes like Alisha's.

Don't forget the next work day, March 29!
