Week C Winding Down

We have had a great week with the teams from Birmingham and Southaven. Our construction manager, Greg, continues to be impressed at the heart Builders For Christ have to serve and the pace that everyone works.

The local newspaper was out here today, so we hope to have our story in the paper over the weekend!

There are updated pictures in our "Construction Photo Gallery". Check out the progress for yourself. Just to summarize, the roof is completely shingled, all exterior windows have been installed, insulation and sheetrock are going on, electrical conduit is being run, heating and cooling duct work is being assembled, and the front tower was raised!!

Everyone from Week C, thank you on behalf of the congregation from Jacob's Well. You've blessed us with your hard work as well as your wonderful friendship. Come back to visit us if you are ever in WI!!

Roof is Shingled & Windows are In

The entire roof is now shingled and all the windows have been installed today. They are bringing in stacks of insulation. It is so fun to see these amazing volunteers in action!

First Day for Week C

Great first day! We have had a nice WI summer day....very pleasant weather today. The Week C Team jumped in and were eager to work this morning with many of them showing up by 6:30am. Check out the pictures of the progress.

Shingles are flying on, sheetrock is starting to be hung, even siding and windows are being worked on. Every corner of the building is being worked on today! It is hard to believe the progress these folks can make in a day.

Dear Father,
Thank you for what you accomplished through your servants from Builders For Christ. Thank you for their attitude, their work ethic and their heart to serve. Keep them safe this week while they work and encourage each of them. Help us at Jacob's Well use this building, this tool, to show others in this community the power of the Gospel as we love them and welcome them to join us on this journey of faith. May your name be honored and glorified throughout the Chippewa Valley. Amen.

BIG PRAYER REQUEST

We need the duct work to arrive from Birmingham! Pray it arrives tommorow. We have people here ready to work and we need these materials.
