Dear Builder For Christ;
Twelve of us have just returned from New Beginnings Baptist Church, Point Pleasant, WV. We carried a trailer full of heating and cooling materials and another with electrical supplies. The total cost of these materials was about ,500 and was paid for by churches we have built parsonages for, supporting churches, members, non-members and the Baptist State Convention of West Virginia. At the last minute we were ,000 short and Pastor Wendell Smith told the Convention Mission's Director that money was needed for this project and he said they could only give ,000. We scheduled Friday and Saturday to complete the work but only needed one and a half days. We were back home Saturday evening. God is already working at New Beginnings and you do not want to miss out on the wonderful blessings still to come. The church building will be cool this summer because of these new systems.
The dates for constructing the parsonage are as follows:
May 23rd for the foundation
June 13 - 17th for framing
July 18 - 22nd for the harvest and every thing else
Special notice: One of our masons is unable to work because of surgery, therefore we need for you to find one in your church who will give one day of work. Give me a call and let me know whom you have found. Please don’t procrastinate. THANKS!
