June 11

We have had a great week in our pre-construction/demolition preparation work. Many men came out on Saturday and worked very hard to complete our projects. We are now in the process of salvaging and selling many items from the demolition area.

  • The chain link fence has been sold and removed.
  • The basketball hoops have been sold and removed.

Here are some current updates:

  • The staff are still situating themselves, but are completely moved out.
  • The new church copy room project is on its way. The wall is framed and new cabinets are being installed.
  • The kitchen at the Daisy house is complete. This project is wrapping up, and we are now demobilizing and cleaning up.
  • Our construction fence is scheduled to go up this Monday!

Praise God for His favor. Please continue to pray for our building.

Praise God for continuing to bless our pre-building planning as we get close to breaking ground! Within the past week God has sent us two great money-saving blessings:

  • We saved $10,000 as our concrete company decided not to charge us a dumping fee.
  • We were told by our architects that we must have a very difficult and expensive foundation for our new building. We would not be able to do this job ourselves. Praise the Lord that after our soil was re-tested we got great results and were told that we would be able to have a conventional foundation and do the work ourselves-saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Thank you for being faithful in prayer for our new building. God is answering in a mighty way. Please continue to pray. Also, Don’t forget that our new Executing Together building commitments begin THIS SUNDAY JUNE 7th. Pray that our church will be faithful in keeping their new commitments.

Thank you again for your faithfulness!

Another big THANK YOU to the wonderful members of Pacific Baptist Church for their hard work and sacrifice on banquet night. The Lord enabled us to give and commit $861,451.79 for our new building. Praise the Lord! A special THANK YOU to those who have committed to giving weekly/monthly commitments. This will be a great benefit to us as we try to get the best loan possible. Don’t forget that our weekly/monthly commitments begin on June 7th. THANK YOU for your faithfulness!
