Praise God for the many men and ladies who worked and cooked at our pre-construction work party on March 28th and April 4th. Our NEW BUILDING is closer than ever because we have made significant progress on our pre-construction projects.
Here is a brief update on them:
- The drywall for our patio is now complete.
- The brown coat of stucco for our neighbor’s wall is complete (for terms and conditions of our NEW BUILDING.
- The sheds and soda/candy machines were moved to provide a play area once we begin the demo of the basketball area, and construction of our NEW BUILDING.
- The new girls’ dorm that they will move into once we begin the construction of our NEW BUILDING is underway.
- The new patio on the corner that we will be using for Sunday school space during the construction of our NEW BUILDING had the concrete poured, stamping finished, footing completed, and fence constructed.
- Richard Lazo has a meeting scheduled with the engineers in Atlanta to help find our MEP (construction) drawings. When he is out there he will meet with Bro. Shumpert to begin planning to get more volunteer labor. It also looks like Bro. Shumpert can get us our new carpet rolls at a 50% discount.
- As we think of the preliminary preparations and actual construction of our NEW BUILDING, we are so grateful that the Lord is working in a mighty way through our building campaign. There have been so many testimonies of the Lord working and providing thorough our church family. Many, many people will be able to give even more than they ever anticipated because they had that little faith as a grain of mustard seed.
As the banquet is less the three weeks away, I encourage you to pray and ask the Lord to continue working through each member in our church. Ask the Lord to do a special, supernatural work in your life personally in regard to giving at least $1,000 on the night of the banquet, and at least $20 weekly. The Lord has already provided this for many. To all of us, please pray that this banquet would be a tool in your life to stretch your faith and that you would give for our NEW BUILDING what the Lord wants you to.
