1 year update

Ok, it has been a long time since my last posting. My apologies, it isn't my intention to neglect the website www.itsthebible.org or this blog page.

Since the last posting which showed where my church was after my fathers passing alot has happened. We raised $3982.00 and then all the women of the church helped as we removed the floor in the sanctuary and discovered we actually had to make a foundation for our church instead of just repairing damage. See, when the church was built back in the 1940's Fort Worth didn't really have any building codes so the church was built on a few cinder blocks with the wood actually resting on the ground! The money we had raised was just barely enough to build the foundation for the existing sanctuary and put the subfloor in place!

It has taken us another year to raise the money for the porch/entry area (a 15 x 30 foot slab) which will let us start the renovation of the classroom and office portion of the church. Not bad when you consider we had fallen to an attendance of 3-5 for Sunday Worship! In the last 2 years we have had 4 baptisms and the attendance now gets up to 20 at times.

Dear God in heaven,
please grant us the strength to continue the work set before us,
Amen
