Our little church building - progress!

We have been meeting for the last 3 months under a tree but with the onset of the rainy season it really is not practical. So, we have decided to build a church - certainly not as cumbersome as stateside: no building permits, inspectors, or worrying about financing with the bank! Our little group of people have already cut the poles and bamboo and hopefully will have the grass cut soon (for the roof). The holes are dug and as you can see in the pictures, the "frame" of the building is complete! It is roughly 5 meters wide by 12 meters long. It may not look like much now but in the next couple weeks it will really take shape and be a place for the people to gather together to learn of Jesus and worship our God for the next many years to come!We expect our little "bush" church will be able to hold around 60 adults and possibly even more. Expansion is not usually a problem since it is just a matter of getting some new poles/bamboo and making it work! 

We are excited to see our Lord work in the hearts of these people. There are times when an inward expression of your faith and love for Christ can take on an outward action. We believe the work being done on the physical building is just a small sign of what is happening to the inside of these people! Praise the LORD!
