HIS Chapel is Under Construction



With limited funding, the Heritage Chapel has been going through a new phase of building. Posts (no walls yet) and roof beams have been added, as well as some stage walls, and other details. The idea was to get it far enough along to use it for the graduation ceremony. That did happen, although there are still no walls or a roof. You would be surprised, however, with how nice it all looked. I'll add grad pictures and a blog about it later. I just wanted you to see that this is happening.

And, yes, if you would like to give towards the completion of the chapel, it would be greatly appreciated. Really, they've already run out of the small amount of money which was in the account. Part of that is that there never has been enough money. Part of it is that even as the guys have been building, construction item prices have risen again, nearly doubling in just 3 months. With that in mind, the construction may need to stop again for a while, until further funds can be obtained.

I worry that it is a poor testimony that it is not yet completed, indicating that it isn't a priority. Will you pray with us about this need? You know, as well as I do, that the chapel can and will be a wonderful tool for school and other ministries, and it is a clear testimony to the community that we seek to serve and know Jesus first. We need this building completed!
