There are a lot of parallels to the construction of a building and the formation of a life. After a period of time, it is nearly impossible to remember who the land once was, how the plot used to be, how a life used to be. Look at the pictures below.
The rubble and grass is gone, and a 30 foot by 60 foot floor will be poured this week, using 6 ton of concrete (120 bags, each weighing 60 lbs, or 50 kilos), plus lots of gravel and sand.
A lot of work has been done on our auditorium in recent weeks. At the end of this month there will be a (temporary) swimming pool on top of that future concrete floor, where we’ll be baptizing several people, appropriately commencing the ministry of this new area. Eventually a cistern will double as a baptistry at the front of auditorium. Hey, gotta be efficient in the use of space!
Thanks so much for all of you who have prayed and given to this project.
Exciting!!
