The Walls Go Up!

Praise the Lord, steady progress has been made at the Bible center this past week. With the goal of having the building ready for the August camp meeting, it is encouraging to see the work prosper under God's blessing.

Since the "ring-to" beams have been remade...

and the bricks are fired and ready...

it was time to begin!

The "water man" unloads his valuable cargo after a 2 kilometer (a little over a mile) ride.

Since it was possible to purchase cement, the mud and brick partition walls have been torn down and solid new stem walls are going up.

With the skill of a crew of masons, the brick partition walls are making good progress.

The front of the center is complete and ready for the wall plate.

This happy worker carries the bricks to the masons. He has shown interest in attending the meetings, but is still unsaved.

It is such a blessing to see all those bricks put to good use!

A view of the center from the outside of the auditorium.

The partition walls for the interior rooms are almost ceiling high now. Brother Lawrence is especially blessed to see the quality of the rebuilt ring-to beam: "See how straight and nice it looks? Praise be to the Lord for all His goodness."

Here is the work crew that has poured their skill and time into it.

The interior walls are almost complete now...

...and the end is in sight!

There is still the roof to be done and much needed to finish the building, but we praise the Lord for help each step of the way!
