The demolition has been completed in 3/4 of our space while we still occupy one side of the 2nd floor. With that, more ‘constructive’ work has begun! The 2nd floor joists are being ‘sistered’ which means that heavy-duty aluminum beams are being fixed to the existing wooden beams which were sagging in the middle, due to the age of the building. Also, the ductwork is in place on the first floor along with 2 large HVAC units. The next step is to replace a rather leaky roof which, of course, will protect the new construction to be done. Currently, the construction crew is very close to finishing a big job in Brooklyn at which time they will ‘hit is hard’ at our facility. Thanks be to God for the progress he has shown us these past couple of months!

It’s good to be back home. Our trip was a long one but we made it eventually. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support while we were gone. I know that Katie and I have grown both in our knowledge of the language and in our understanding of the culture. And I pray that we will be able to use what we learned in service to our Lord.

This Sunday at Sure Foundation we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The celebration will be held in our new space! No, the renovation isn’t yet complete, but we will use the space to accommodate all of our members and visitors.

All are invited to join us this Sunday, April 8th, to find out how Easter truly changes our everything for us here on this earth and for eternity in heaven!
