Construction Report

This is a view inside the reformed reception area. A wall was knocked out to make the area larger, two couches were donated, the interior & exterior walls repainted, and new wiring put in. All that remains now is to put in some new flooring. A much more receptive space!

These are some pics of inside the new bedrooms and bathrooms in the dormitory. As you can see, the walls are finished; what remains to be done is to put down the tiling on the floors, put up the ceiling, and paint the walls. It is exciting to see how this work has progressed to this point! We have had to slow down a bit in recent weeks because of lack of funding, but hopefully we will have everything finished by the end of November.

This is the inside of the new cafeteria area. As I've
explained in previous posts, the cafeteria was formerly uncovered, with no doors. It was pretty cold to eat there during the winter! Thanks to the new reforms, the cafeteria has been roofed over, the walls have been repainted, a door has been placed on one side, and a small window has been opened between the kitchen and cafeteria to allow the men to get their food directly through the window, without having to go out and around. Much more sanitary and practical!

We covet your prayers for this work! This is a picture of the group of men at the end of last month. Some have moved on, some have stayed; we lament those who don't stick it out, but we celebrate those who do, and hope that all will take away something from their experience, whether they stay for weeks, months, or the year. We are working for God and we ask God to give the victory to these men and their families!
