Celebration Centre Kumi, Uganda - Building progress.








As you can see we are well on the journey to getting the church up and built.  About another 1.5 m to go to finish the walls and then the roof doors and windows to fit, There is meant to be a progression in the pics but as this is my first posting who knows how it will turn out.  Really want to encourage Mike and Allison with their build project in the Far North ... keep prohecying to the nothin' til it becomes somethin'. 

We are about two thirds on the way - started in Nov 09 and got to this point in May 2010. The engineers in the local council are watching closely as few buildings there actually get a proper foundation laid as we have here - the result after monsoon rains down the track is that those buildings end up slumping and breaking. We had our share of stress in 09 when it looked hopeless and the council was going to reposses and sell our land and we would lose all our purchase money (we were contracturally obligated to proceed building within 6 months of purchase) which we were not aware of. The deadline was on us and no dough in kitty -  some 'creative financial thinking' and some fast action from Ps Richard to raise some local money saw some government officials get some cash 'under the counter' and we got a five year build extension signed and sealed! Against our financial priciples you ask ... yep it sure was, but I reckon you've gotta do what youve gotta do to get the job done for the Kingdom.

Be encouraged He is everywhere and into everything  .... and He is with you as well!

    Good to see Margaret putting her hand to the plow!
    Gods reward is BIG for those who are labouring so hard. I will remember Richard and Margaret in prayer tonight and also praying for the whole family.
