Are you tired of me saying 'more progress' yet?  I'm not. This is awesome!  Pretty soon, work will move to the inside of the building and it will be harder to show you what is going on, but for now, enjoy these pictures.  There are so many things to pray for, I could not list them here, so just pray!

This week's photos!  Still looks like an erector set to me, but much bigger, or course.  Please continue to pray for the workers, but let's also pray for the new office space in the Northwestern Bank Building.  Pray that the new space allows our staff and volunteers to continue to do God's good work.  - David

Here is this week's update.  Does anyone wonder what the instructions look like to put a building like this together?  Do you think it looks like the directions that you get from a place like Ikea?  I'll have to see if I can find a picture of the instructions so we can see what they look like.  As I have been saying, keep praying for the people working on our building, not just the ones that are putting up the steel, but everyone involved -> electricians, plumbers, carpenters, engineers, architects, designers and the people of Bethel who are volunteering their time to create our new ministry facility.  - David

More progress this week.  This reminds me of my Erector set I had when I was a kid, but much bigger!  Please continue to pray for the safety of the workers and all involved with the construction of our new ministry facility.  Thank God for his provision.

The two pictures above were taken on Saturday morning, 8/26/2023.  Progress!  You probably can't see much on the picture on the left, but if you look closely at the picture on the right, you can see steel sitting on the ground.  Please pray for the safety for the workers as they work with the steel.

Here are a couple of early pictures showing the progress on Bethel's new ministry facility.  Most of the changes so far have been below the surface and are not immediately obvious, but check back for updates.  We will try to have new pictures posted here weekly.

Photo captions will display when you hold your mouse over a picture or touch the picture with your finger if using your phone.
