Thanks Team!

Thanks to all who were on site this week. We weren't sure all 100 volunteers would have work to do this week, but after Monday morning, everyone spread out to the different corners of the building. It is evident to see all the work they got done. The siding is nearly complete on three sides of the building....with only the front remaining. Construction on the tower continues to go on with sheeting and the roof going on. Nearly all of the interior walls, doorways, children's theater and hallway framing is finished. You see in the picture the backstage hallway in our future children's theater.

We pray for safe travel for the team's return trip....especially those on the 24 hr bus ride. Thank you for all you've done this week.

Next week the site will be quiet with the exception of some sub-contractors finishing up some projects. We're excited to have a team from CO and OH visiting us the following week and hope they can make it to our baptism service at a nearby park. Should be a great service!!

Baptistry Arrived Today!

The baptistry arrived from Texas today. It's going to be great to have a permanent baptistry in the addition.

Siding Going On!!

Check out the brick around most of the building is done and siding is going on around the back of the building. Great working weather for the folks yesterday!!!

Welcome Week G Teams

Among the 90 people here this week, over 40 traveled via coach bus over 22 hours (stopping only for food and gas) from North and South Carolina. Needless to say, they were happy to see Jacob's Well this morning! Many of the Builders For Christ folks joined in our second service, which was full...must have had over 500 kids and adults for second service this morning.

Welcome to teams from Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan and Nebraska! We are glad you are here and we look forward to your work on the building this week. Next on the work schedule is hanging more sheetrock, siding the exterior, and more duct work.

Good Bye Texas Teams

A big thank you goes out to all the folks from Texas who came last week. As you can see from the pictures the group were skilled at hanging sheetrock, stuffing insulation everywhere, framing out what is going to be a beautiful front tower entrance along with many other interior projects.

The children who were here for the week visited a cheese factory (run by members of Jacob's Well) in Cadott, Irvine Park in Chippewa Falls, and our local children's museum. We're glad they got to see some of the sites in our area.

At the end of the week, the team gave out some special awards....and I even got one =)!! Thanks for being here this week! - Patrick
