Front Entrance

Dear family and friends,

"Rome was not build in a day" is the famous saying, which we have had to relate to a few times in the past year. As we look at the task of renovating our church, the building is over 100 years old and it has not been decorated since the 1960's. However, we are advancing one step at a time, and have gained momentum to see things change and become more up-to-date.

Here is an update how the building is being renovated...
This past week we laid a new floor in the pastor's office...




One of the big projects that we have been working on the last few weeks is the front entrance. Here is a picture before anything started.

Here the work starts. We pulled out the "old" front entrance box which was meant to keep wind and rain out. The reason for this removal was to have more room and natural light shining through. Next we took out the old ceiling to put up a stronger one. We also added new lights to make the room brighter.

A new front door is being installed in the next picture. We are praising God for the financial provision for this door. We had taken a step of faith and ordered it, believing Him for a miracle.
A few days later, after the order, we had received a message from the States that a children's ministry had sent 3,000 pounds to pay for this accessory for the front hall. This donation covered the full bill for the door. Praise God!




A new laminate floor is being installed.
After plastering all the walls, we had put a fresh touch of paint on.

We are so grateful for all who have partnered with us in this project!

Our children Josiah and Gloria are a huge part in our ministry in Scotland.
