Jesus Miracle Chapel

HOLOPAW, FLA AUG 9, 2021

Rev. Lee Hoffman has long dreamed of his Jesus Miracle Chapel welcoming more than 200 worshippers for Sunday service. For about 25 years, he’s worked on the structure by hand, but never quite finished it. His church has never had a roof nor a congregation, but mowing the lawn out front keeps the 92 year old going.

There hasn’t been any news regarding the Jesus Miracle Chapel on US Route 92 in Holopaw since Osceola County considered demolition in 2017 and 2018.

    • Don’t get your hopes up. “Pastor” Hector Gordon (of HG LLC) has experienced massive self-induced failure in his business practices over the recent years, resulting from abhorrently unprofessional, unethical, and immoral behavior. He was fined $500,000.00+ from the government for tax evasion issues in 2022, and with his track record, I’m sure similar issues have continued. It was explained to me (by Hector himself) that he was basically gifted this property in the article in the good faith that he would restore it, even though Hector himself knew that his investors were growing very wary of his continuously failing efforts, and that he himself was bad-off financially (hence him begging for donations to make this chapel project happen). Hector’s construction company (HG LLC) was encompassed around renovation projects where he would contract with large home rental companies (Progress Residential, Invitation Homes, Tricon Residential, etc.), all of which fired him; with one company in particular claiming that over their 12 years, they had never worked with anyone so insufferable that they had to blacklist him from ever working with their company again. The guy would even do things as far as forming a renovation crew with new and inexperienced individuals, fill their heads with delusion of grandeur, send them several states away where he was trying to expand (while his Florida branch was failing miserably), and then abandon the crew(s) in the state they were sent to after that company would fire Hector from their roster as well. He would send employees and other small businesses (contracting for him) into the field to work even though he didn’t have the means to pay them, and would simply disappear and stop responding to them to avoid accountability. The term ‘pastor’ is merely a pretentious title that Hector Gordon likes to claim, and I have no doubts that he has manipulated the poor owner of this chapel into believing that he is more than what he actually is, just like he has habitually done with so many others.
