Seize the Moment, Share the Dream

During our recent trip to the States, we witnessed some amazing responses to the urgency of the need for the completion of the Ministry Center. We were able to share, along with Pastor Andrei, at several churches and with many at NAC. This project is taking on a life of it's own and we are seeing an amazing response which greatly confirms that God is bringing this Dream He gave to the Chelyabinsk church to pass.

Construction has moved along in June and July, though much of it is not visible on the surface. Much of the equipment for the heating has been purchased and is in the process of being installed. The water is also in process of being connected. All the windows and doors have been installed (with the exception of the front doors) and the stucco and cement work completed on the exterior.

Funds have continued to come steadily which has enabled the work to continue to progress. At this date, the total stands at one-third that has been received, right around the $120,000 mark. We continue to pray and trust that each time funds are needed, they will be available. The goal is to complete as much as is possible in summer and early fall while the weather is conducive. There is still a great need and a strong urgency for continuing funds to get the construction accomplished in the next 6 months.

We have a short video about the project and the church in Russia that is titled "Seize the Moment, Share the Dream". We shared this wherever we could during our visit to the States and gave it to anyone who we made contact with. If you have not seen it or would like a copy- please contact Ed Hyatt, who is the
Project Link Administrator. Contact by email: EHyatt@chog.org Contact by phone: 765-608-3047 or 800-848-2464, ext. 3047.



Thank you for your constant prayers, your encouragement, your generous giving and response and for coming alongside us and the Chelyabinsk believers to Seize the Moment and Sharing in this Dream.
