Building Blocks

This past week the masons have made over 800 building blocks for our foundation. Here in Ghana most all of the buildings are made of cement blocks with metal roofs. Our goal is to make 1500 blocks to lay the foundation of our church. We are planning a two-story building that will serve the various ministries of our church. There will be a sanctuary, classrooms for Sunday School and our Bible Institute, offices, and a dormitory for our Bible Students.

We have been meeting in a school for two years now. The school has no lights, electricity, fans, or screens on the windows. This is no problem in Africa for our morning services on Sunday, but can sometimes be a problem in the evening services and for our Institute classes. The rechargeable lamps sometimes will burn out during the services leaving us in the dark. Mosquitos are always a nuisance and at times we can hear them singing "Nothing but the Blood." (just kidding).

However, we are grateful that the Lord has provided us a place to meet these past two years, rent-free. Also, we are excited that He has given us two plots of land to build our own building. Pray that the Lord would continue to provide through His people and give us wisdom for the building project.
