Progress can be slow

There is not much new to report on the building.  The last couple days we have been hampered by wind and rain.  However, I was at the job site just a few minutes ago and the crew is back at work and will be pouring concrete later today.  There is also a load of floor trusses on its way so the floor can start going together next week.

I am looking forward to seeing more progress next week so I can post a few more pictures that will look like something is happening.  But this lull is not unusual in the building process and I am sure that before it is done, there will be more times like this.

Had a building committee meeting last evening as there are still lots of details to iron out.  I really appreciate each of our board and building committee members who give of their time and talents to make this project reality.  Thanks to each of you!  Please continue to pray for us as we continue to work together to see this project through to completion.

Please keep watching for new updates.

Update

No new pics to share today.  The site looks much the same as in the last pictures, other than some additional reinforcement to the forms to allow them to be filled with concrete.  The pumper truck arrived around noon and the forms have been filled with concrete to within 6 to 8 inches from the top.  There is another couple rounds of forms to be added and then we are ready for the floor.  Probably will be some new pictures tomorrow.

Received an awesome phone call yesterday morning... with a commitment of $80,000 toward our new building!  This a resounding "Praise the Lord!!!!!"  Let's keep praying that God will allow the finances to continue to flow in so we can get this building up completely debt free.
