It has been a week since new pictures have been added to our blog, yet there is not much new to take pictures of . That doesn't mean that the construction has come to a halt or no progress has been made. We are just at that point where it takes a while to see a difference.
The things that have been accomplished over the last several days are the completion of the strapping on the ceiling. It is now ready for sheetrock when the mechanical and electrical install is finished. The carport has been adorned with shingles and is also ready for electrical work so it can be finished up.
We are continuing to praise the Lord for His provision for our project. Over the last month, $100,000 has been added to our building fund account by various means. One was a district contribution in the amount of $80,000, another was from the estate of a church member, a contribution of $15,000 which will purchase the chairs for the sanctuary. And last, but not least, we have been fundraising for sheetrock, 1,000 sheets at $10 each. This money, $10,000, has been almost completely raised and we are ready to pursue another in house fundraiser.
We continue to pray that God would provide the finances needed to erect and complete this building with very little debt. Our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, holds the world in the palm of His hand. This is not too big a request for Him! Would you pray with us as we continue to trust in Him?
