Hi Family,
I trust you are all well and blessed. Can you believe it? We are almost halfway through 2026!
As you may recall, at the start of 2026 we mentioned that our goal for this year was to upgrade our Children's Church facility. Our current facility is no longer fit for purpose, partly because we have experienced growth, and partly because we see it as a key future growth area. We have identified our Children and Youth as key strategic growth areas for our church. God is already working amazingly in our Youth, and so we are excited to put more focus on our kids. Exciting times!
The plan I shared was to convert our upstairs offices into an open-plan kids facility. Doing so would open up a lot more space for the kids to enjoy and make ministry to them much more effective. The current facility is just way too cramped.
We obtained a builders quote of $6,500. However, we have been blessed with some talented builders of our own. After doing some exploratory works upstairs, we estimate that to get the offices converted into a usable open-space may cost about half that, around $3,000 by doing it ourselves.
I would really appreciate it if you could pray into this and how you could assist us in making this a reality.
There are a number of ways you can assist:
1. What we really need most of all right now is finances to buy materials and get going. Please consider making a donation to our BUILDING PROJECTS account:
Use reference "Children".
Account number is: 02-0466-0252031-007.
Please remember to add your giving number.
2. I will also share details later on about other ways to help. This may include, painting, carpet laying, decorating, fund raising events, toys, kids furniture, technology, etc.
3. Lastly, if you would like to volunteer and assist in some way in the Children's Ministry, please reach out to us or Felix. We are in need of your help, even if it is only once a month.
We look forward to what is going to happen in this space.
Blessings,
PJ and Nat
