Phase 2A Construction Update 3-28-11

What a couple of months it has been in the continued construction of the Worship and Family Life Center. After viewing the critical needs of the church, the board recommended that we complete Phase 2 in two portions, first the administrative wing, with classrooms, the elevator, and offices, and then the activities wing with the gymnasium, dance studios, classrooms, and kitchen. God was already moving in that direction, as a family in the church was moved to offer a $100,000 matching gift, Nsoroma II raised $215,000, and 192 additional families gave a total of $193,000 towards the Phase II construction costs. These funds were exactly what were needed for the construction of the administration wing, and to do the preparation for the activities wing as well as do permitting for our south parking lot. Since January, we have been moving fast on the construction of Phase 2 A, the Administrative Wing, with classrooms, a green room, conference room, elevator and office. As of this weekend, 3/28/2011, the walls have been framed and covered in drywall, the elevator has been ordered, the elevator steel supports have been installed, and the initial electrical, heating and air conditioning, and plumbing are in place. Walls are to be textured this week, with painting starting in the second week of April. Everything is on schedule to be looking good by Easter, with the exception of the installation of the elevator. The elevator is scheduled to be installed in the middle of May. Please keep the project in prayer for both safety and schedule. We will be holding a grand tour on the third Sunday in May, as well as a celebration of the completion of the Lifestyle Stewardship Campaign. All of this would not have been possible without faithfulness and sacrifice on by many members and friends of NBCF. As we make the final push towards completing our pledges for the Lifestyle Stewardship Campaign, know that your offerings go towards more than screws, studs, and paint. These offerings provide the space and the place for powerful and effective ministry to families, children, and seniors. Please prayerfully consider finishing this offering campaign with a sacrificial gift. Paz, Rev. David Ankcorn I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” 2 Sam 24:24
