This building project has been like driving through Atlanta Georgia on the interstate during rush hour.  Stop and start.  Stop and start.  Stop and start.  I can hear the voices in the car…”are we ever going to get there?”

The answer:  Sooner….or later!

Here’s the update:

Construction has resumed.  The new entrance steps and ramps are being built, the parking lot has been laid out for the landscape beds, the big power transformer is being moved to it’s new location, trees have been removed, the two main bathrooms are being renovated, and a number of other projects are getting started.

We have secured $1.1 million for the purchase aof the cost of renovation.  If there are no surprises in the rest of the construction we still need another 150 – 200 thousand dollars to finish the project.  We are currently trying to secure the needed financing to finish the project.

There are a number of projects that we are able to do and we will be announcing them as we are able to do them.  Here’s what’s happening:

+  Juan Leiva is constructing the bathroom partitions and counters.

+  John James is helping oversee the floor finishing in the bathrooms.

+  Derek Striker will resume the main floor finishes as our building manager allows

+  Tim Walleker will oversee the reconstruction of the suspended ceilings where they are being replaced.  He will also be painting the exterior when the building modifications are finished

+  Bob Hannon and Jeff Light are making headway on tree trimming and removal

+  Jim Bruce is designing and constructing our modular café

+  All interior wall surfaces are being primed and painted as needed 

+  The 2 special needs bathrooms are being painted and tiled as well as new  counter tops being installed.

+  Julie Macrae is organizing a number of different fund raisers to secure funds for the purchase of materials like plumbing fixtures, paint, tile, etc… for the projects that the church individuals can do.  She also has announced Gift Day on 10-10-2010 for building contribution.

+  John James is also designing and creating our exterior signs

We need someone to remove the popcorn finish from the two main bathrooms.
Painters are needed to prime the children’s room.  (must be a painter)

More to come.

Please pray for the project and the project funds to be in God’s timing!

Father, I do pray for this project and I thank you that you are Faithful!!! Heaven's economy has not been affected by the recession here and you haven't had to lay off any of the angels. Nothing is impossible with you and All things are possible to those who will BELIEVE..I believe that "YOU" as our Source will supply everything that is needed for this project. A million or two is nothing to You. This church is a giving church and You said, GIVE and is SHALL BE given to you GOOD Measure, shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom. I know you won't rain dollar bills down from heaven but you do use men AND women as vessels. So I pray that you would tap folks on the shoulder and whisper to them what to give and what to do. Now I thank you for your promise in Mark 11:24 that says Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive them and you shall have them!!!So right now I've Prayed and I know that I must BELIEVE I RECEIVE before I have and that the having comes after I believe I have received..YOU also said This is the confidence that we have in You, That if we ask anything according to your will, then we KNOW we have the petitions that we desire of you.. The Devil is a Liar, He's already been defeated by your Son Jesus and He's not Big enough to stop You or this project. Father We are walking by faith and not by sight or the way things appear to be in the natural..We're looking at things that are not seen with the natural eye and not the things we see with our physical sight. We can see with the Eye's of our faith and we know that there be more with us than be with "them" So Thank you Father who always gives us the victory and always causes us to TRIUMPH !!! We Can do all Things through Christ who STRENGTHENS us and We are more than conquerors thru HIM !!! We will continue to be steadfast, unmoveable and we will not fail and we will not quit because If God be for us, Who in the world can be against us? This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our Faith and we know That Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world..And we also know that NO weapon formed against us will prosper or succeed. I thank you that as we do the natural, you'll do the SUPER and we will see this project completed supernaturally !!! Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or think be all of the Glory and the Honor..May every bit of the credit for what is accomplished go to You...In Jesus' Name..Amen..So Let it BEEEEE !!!!
