Rain... Rain... Go Away... (please!)
/Psalm 127:1a “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” We fully believe the words of this verse from the Psalms and recognize that this must be our perspective through this project.
Since the last update we’ve seen the completion of the Erosion and Sediment Controls installation. You can see the black silt socks that litter the property in the picture. Also completed is the pre-grading and stoning of the new driveway on the western side of the property. This drive will lead to the ministry center camp/retreat areas of the property. The current drive will lead directly to the office.
It has been too rainy and wet for B.R. Kreider to return to begin any serious excavation although they have been investigating options to bring in fill dirt. They’ve also been watching the weather to see if we would have a window to work around the wet weather. So far, nothing has presented itself and the conditions just have not been right to start successfully.
As soon as the weather permits, the excavating work will resume. B.R. Kreider’s focus will be preparing the way for the office to be built; then moving on to other areas of the site. AMES will pick up the office build once the pad site is ready.
Please PRAY with us for good weather and for God to provide in unique ways to allow for a smooth flow of construction when weather is sometimes uncooperative. We hope you’ll enjoy seeing the pictures and being kept up to date in this way. If you have questions feel free to give a call, we’re always happy to share or answer questions about what’s happening and how to pray. Sometimes the requests change daily!
