Footing Inspection Passed

…praise the Lord!

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country (or from the construction site).
-Proverbs 25:25

Our soils engineer inspected our footings today. The soil had to be a certain hardness on the footings so it would be strong enough for the concrete and foundation. Rathana said that he thought it might be difficult to pass because of rain saturating the footings. If it didn’t pass, it could throw us off days and possibly weeks, and would cost $500 each time the engineer came out. We were praying that it would pass while CLAIM men were here so that we could keep our project moving, and PRAISE THE LORD, IT PASSED TODAY! Let’s spread the goods news!

Banquet Kickoff

Banquet Leaders
Thank God for willing Leaders!

We had a great kickoff to our 2011 Building Banquet Campaign. We are thankful for the great turnout of faithful leaders. The afternoon was a jump start to what will be a great year. We were blessed to learn from financial advisors who gave us some very practical and useful information. They gave us insight of how our money works and the potential of our investments. We have all heard some sort of financial advice, but to get it from a Biblical prospective was very eye opening.

Now we have two ways we can help (give sacrificially and invest in our church’s bond program) to get our NEW building up quicker! Such a great buzz was created from the meeting. The buzz will only continue to grow as we understand more and as word gets out on how we ordinary Christians can do extraordinary things in God’s name if we commit ourselves to Him and allow Him to work through us.

More Money Saving

We were able to cut our stucco cost by nearly 50% saving our church family almost $20,000. Praise God for his continued blessing on our building campaign. Please pray for God’s wisdom and favor upon our construction team. Also, please be in prayer for this year’s building campaign and May 13th building banquet.

Two Drawings Approved

Our building planning is moving forward! The city has already approved 2 of our drawings. We are now re-working the mechanical drawings to save our church much money. We have been extensively researching for new ways to save money on materials, and we were able to find ways to cut costs in about 20 different parts of the building so far.

Praise God for his provision and goodness!
