Maternity Renovations Started

I am excited to announce the beginning of the renovations for the new maternity.  Three weeks ago we started by cutting down the three large trees that were posing a serious threat to both the foundation of the principle building as well as the power and telephone lines.

God truly helped us in the process because all these trees were extremely overgrown.  The trunk of the tree in the picture had grown around the telephone line.  Basically the tree swallowed it.  The other trees had huge branches hanging over the primary power line for our town's region.

Thankfully, all three trees came down without any major damage.  None of the trees broke a line.  The only minor damage was to the edge of the roofline which will easily be fixed.  The damage was simply to the facade.

The last two weeks the workers have been reinforcing the exterior wall.  Once they finish the wall they will start redoing the gates and doors.  The work is going well and is advancing quickly.  While we have started the renovations, we still need to raise more funds.  We still need to raise at least $10,000 more for the renovations.  We also still need to raise funds for equipment.  This amount is between $25,000-$30,000.  Things are progressing, but we still have a long road ahead.  Continue to pray for the project and consider how you can help.
