Urgent Prayer Request

As many of you have read in our most recent posts, we are now without a meeting place for services. Since the facts of that situation have already been mentioned in the post, New Challenges (June 2011), I will not repeat the details. We have been holding Sunday school in a soccer field across the street from our home. The adults have been meeting in the living room/bedroom of our small cottage. Now that VBS is behind us, we are left with a month or two before the weather will begin to change and the rains and colder temperatures will prevent us from holding Sunday school outside.  We are looking into several options including the purchase or renting of commercial property to use as a church building.  Our initial plan is to get the house we have been working on for the past two years to a point where we could live in it. You can see the construction progress as it happens step by step on our blog, Construction Zone. Once we have moved our family into the new house we can then remove the walls, brick stove, and anything else we can from the cottage we have been living in for the past five years. We will then remodel the cottage to turn it into one large Sunday School room for youth and children’s ministries. We designed the new house with the ability to turn a large part of the first floor into a meeting place if necessary so that is where the adult services will be held. We can do the work, but we need funds for this to happen in a timely manner. We have to finish this work by the end of August. September will bring the first freeze and we must have everything weather tight. Please remember us and this need in your prayers. If you would like to help with this remodeling project please contact us.
