Ebenezer Update: Construction Progress

ByAndrew

You may remember that back in November we purchase a piece of property for a new sanctuary for the Ebenezer church. In January, we began construction. What follows are some pictures of the process from the beginning until now.

In early January, the foundations dug and the rebar in place.
The first delivery of bricks.
The walls beginning to rise.
…higher and higher…
The windows and doors begin to appear.
Now we can see the size and shape of the church.
A view from the inside.
Time for the roof beams.
Our lead builder, with the first beam in place.

We are hoping to be moving into our new facilities by May or June. Please pray with us that this will take place!

As Itacyara and I engage in this process, one of the sources…

One of the main reasons we took a shorter furlough this year (ten months as opposed to the traditional twelve) was so that we could participate in this year’s meeting of all our BMM missionaries in Brazil.
