First Fall Update

  • Praise the Lord for our new team of men who are overseeing our building project—Rathana (Kevin) Sin, Albert Gutierrez, Daniel Jones, and Shane Manly  are God-sent men who are taking our building project to the next level!
  • Albert is working on the pricing of our underground plumbing and our first new estimate is $12,000 under our budgeted cost for this material.
  • We were given a number of great tips from our advisers about making changes to the HVAC mechanical drawings which could save us $95,000 or more in the end.
  • We may be able to save up to $1,300 on a material called Visqueen needed for the slab (21% savings from our lowest previous bid).
  • Materials breakdown for the rebar for the slab and foundation—We found a vendor that will give us concrete for $9,300 less than the lowest bid from before and that bid was about $7,000 less than the next vendor.  We also found another rebar company in LA that is giving it to us $1,000 less than Home Depot, who was $7,000 less than the lowest bid previous to the new team’s arrival.
  • A company about two miles from the church may be able to save us $6,000 on the rock that we need for the foundation of our building.
  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS—Please remember that in order for our building to be built, we must continue to faithfully give that which we have committed. As a church, let’s stay faithful, and if we haven’t been, lets get back to doing what we know the Lord wants us to.
  • Please continue to pray for God’s favor, direction, and guidance as we seek to glorify Him and build our building in His time.
