new building

Today is the last day we will be open for the kids until next school year. A full day of activities was planned - chess, Chinese checkers, and other game tournaments during the day at the present building and with a "battle of the bands" program of worship in the evening... in the new building!!! The photo on the right is preparing, the one above is the kids attending.... approx. 75 attended and all enjoyed the worship time in the new building.

Monday we will be moving everything out of the old building and to the new, Tuesday we will be planning the "mission trip" for the young professionals. We are working in a Muslim settlement, first with some physical labor (fence mending!) and then a two day program with young people, presenting the gospel to them with a challenge of committing to Christ. We covet your prayers for the week of April 5-9.

We're packing them in!!! Literally??? We have possession of the new building and Saturdays have become work days for the staff and volunteers... Boboy was nailing in some boards and this was the most convenient/comfortable way to hit the nail.... We almost have one room in usable form, which has been our goal, so we can start to move things into "storage" for the summer. The building won't officially open until June 1 but we are planning our last day of activities for the school year to be held in the new building.

As you can see we did have a good crew working and do get a lot accomplished on each Saturday work day. Many hands do truly make light work... but we are all tired by the end of the day. We continue to have baptisms from kids who are in the Bible Studies - as they go thru the lessons, they realize their need and ask to be baptized. We then see them attending Sunday services, and truly changed lives, wanting to share Christ with others.
