● Meeting hall construction update as of March 29, 2012

1. The new electric pole has been installed today and the building will soon be "energized" with power, in the words of the site superintendent. With the connection of electric power, a test run of the HVAC system is expected to be done soon, and the elevator can now be installed.

2. Praise the Lord! Through our persistent and steadfast prayers, the last major obstacle has been cleared, and the building project is now moving on rapidly towards completion in about 2 more months.

3. Another obstacle was the elevator company's objection to the former location of the machine room, which is now moved to the ground floor. The advantage is that the former room designated for the machine can now be used as extra storage space.

4. The 72" X 36" X 24" baptismal tub has been put in place. Ceilings, walls, and floors in the washrooms and shower/changes rooms are still in the stage of preparation before tiles and plumbing fixtures are installed.

5. Paving stones for the parking lot and periphery of the building will be installed in two weeks' time from the date of delivery.

6. Plastering of the walls throughout the interior is still going on and painting will take another month.

7. We must continue to pray for the right weather for the exterior painting work to proceed according to schedule.
