Ongoing Work on the New Church Auditorium!

Lu works on structure for the new platform (recycling materials!).  Three sections with removable caps will permit the storage of platform extensions used for special events.


Contractors pouring cement over sub-floor in preparation for ceramic.


End of the day and almost finished!!
Lord willing next week finish work around doorways and columns will done along with finish stuccoes.  All the ceiling materials were purchased two weeks ago.  When finish stuccoes are completed we'll be able to install it!  The tile for the floor was purchased last month.  Pray with us for God's supply of funds needed to pay labor for laying the tile.  Some rock work will be done around the baptistery and telescoping doors will be hung on each side of the platform.  Thank you for praying with us!

New Auditorium Under Construction

On Monday, August 26th. we began dismantling the temporary chapel we've used since June of 2004!  In the previous months the new walls were erected and as much stucco as possible was done.
Our friend Lu and his wife Bev are here for two months to help with the transition.  Lu has pretty much completed the electrical, audio and visual installation of the new auditorium.  The picture above shows Lu working between the exterior wall of the temporary chapel and wall of the new auditorium.

Work begins on dismantling the temporary chapel.

Work went on all week and on Saturday everything had to be cleaned and set up for Sunday Services!

Monday work continued on rough stuccos.  Also ducting for central heat was installed.

 Please join us in praising God for these advances and ongoing work. Pray with us for about five thousand dollars still needed to completely finish the auditorium.
