Sunny Glen Children’s Home in San Benito, Texas, Progresses on Construction of the Praise and Worship Pavillion
Thanks to a generous gift from the Estate of D.J. and Anna Syrja, construction is now underway of a new
“PRAISE & WORSHIP PAVILION” at Sunny Glen.
The Syrjas’ faithful relationship to the Sunny Glen ministry began in the 1950s. Having no children of
their own, they reserved a special place in their hearts for Sunny Glen’s forgotten children. The Syrjas were
especially concerned for the children’s spiritual welfare, and the Praise and Worship Pavilion will be an ideal
way to remember them.
The pavilion will enrich the lives of our children and all others who gather under its open and spacious
design. Located in the center of the campus, it will allow Sunny Glen to accommodate larger groups for
events such as youth rallies, worship services, alumni reunions, ceremonies, civic events, etc…
SUNNY GLEN CHILDREN’S HOME IS SIMPLY A REFLECTION OF OUR CHRIST-LIKE
SUPPORTERS, WORKERS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO COMPRISE IT!
D.J. and Anna Syrja’s life-long legacy of caring for the poor and broken-hearted continues
to reflect the light of Christ. Their amazing gift will allow the Sunny Glen ministry to “break new ground”
for future generations and plant seeds of hope of a risen Savior! May God richly bless the Syrja family and
all of you who support this ministry of love.
Swiftly we’re turning life’s daily pages. Swiftly the hours are changing to years,
How are we using God’s golden moments? Shall we reap glory? Shall we reap tears?
Into our hands the Gospel is given. Into our hands is given the light,
Haste, let us carry God’s precious message. Guiding the erring back to the right.
From “Swiftly We’re Turning” by Tillit S. Teddlie
