It is so exciting to see this church & ministry center get closer and closer to completion. Much like the Church Mexico Community Center in the previous post. I first met Pastor Michael Turay teaching on the book of Romans in January 2013. I noticed him studying the smallish church that the conference was at during a breakout; next thing you know I'm visiting him in October, 2013...and though not quite complete; this project (on a MUCH more complicated site than Church Mexico) is getting closer. When complete, the three story building on a steep hill with a lot of big boulders will also be used for training pastors, housing them, and also for the church to meet regularly. The ground floor was complete almost 2 years ago, and they have been able to worship there since that time. Following are photos of the construction when my son, Josiah and I visited in 2015 and work started on laying out the foundation...and some progress photos since.

A LOT of hard labor!
