New Church Building Going Up

In the corner of the radio plant property, we are putting up a new church building. When it is finished we will then work on opening up a hole in the front wall and install a door for people to enter directly from the street.

With property so expensive, we decided to use a corner of our radio plant and start a church in the area. The building is like a poor man’s pole barn. My father calls it a “pole church”. The structure is made of poles as you can see in the picture. Then it is covered with cloth. The final step is the coating of the cloth with tar to protect the covering from sun, rain and wind. We will have a dirt floor. The area is a farming, rural area so the building is not far from the standards of the people. It is a little on the low end, but little by little we will try to better it. The next step is to get some benches and lights. We hope to start services in this structure in early April.
