Construction on our church and our pre/kinder
school has begun! Praise Almighty God! We are building a 60 X 60 foot two
level building. The top level (seen in photo above) will be the church.
However, it will also consist of the church office, a kitchen, bathrooms,
and a multipurpose room. The bottom level (our school) will consist of classrooms,
an office, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a cafeteria area. |

Philippians
4
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace
of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus.

Church member reading his prayer
|
|
|

|
Recently, we held a prayer service
for the construction process. Every member of the church prepared and then
read their prayer in front of the congregation. We then took the prayers
and placed them in a metal tube. We sealed the tube with all the prayers
inside and then placed them in one of the columns. The column was then filled
with cement -forever making our prayers part of the foundation! |

The photo below is of the back retaining
wall of the school. Directly above it is the church main entrance. Because
our land is hilly, the church and the school will both have ground level
entrances. |

As you may have noticed from the
church/school model the entrance to the school level is opposite the church
entrance. The above picture is the view that a person has upon entering
the school. Well, to be exact, the entrance is about eight feet in front
of the man in the photo. |

The view here (above) is from the church entrance.
If a person would be inside the church and look out from where the stained
glass window will be (see model) they would see these blue apartments. |
