Here lately, I’ve felt that most of my life has been about building projects, which for me isn’t a bad thing. I love building, or better said, I love organizing the building and watching others build. It’s been neat seeing the walls go up on New Life Baptist Church. We are hoping to have the building ready for services by April 5th/ Easter Day.
This past week we started another building project at Madiba Bay Baptist Church. This project is to supply housing for Pastor Lubabalo and his family.
For almost a year, this family of 4 has been living in 2 small rooms in the church. The new addition attached to the church will provide Lubabalo’s family with 2 bedrooms, bath, kitchen, and a good size living area. Along with providing this family with a nice living space, two more badly needed Sunday school rooms will be available for the church to use when they move out. If you would like to have a part in this project here is a breakdown of the expenses.
Plumbing- $1,345
Electrical- $1,318
Labor for walls & roof- $2,197
Materials- $2,164 rand (Blocks, brink, cement, sand, etc)
Roof- $870
Total- $7,894
Below are the two rooms they are currently living in.
This is the foundation, slab and beginning of the walls for New Life Baptist Church. I can’t tell you how excited we are to see this progressing. Individuals and churches have given generously to make this happen. We were recently given $3,600 from our home church to begin building the walls. Since then, another individual has given close to $10,000! Hopefully our teammates, Mark Coffey and Sipho Bonga, will be meeting in this building within two months. God is faithful and has provided for His work!
