Phase 1 of our construction project is nearly finished.  To secure the property, we still have to raise two of the walls surrounding it and fix blade wire on the top.  We must pave the ravine that goes through our property and pour concrete on the top.  On the picture, Pastor Michel stands in front of the staircase’s doors.

All the voices of our church in unity say a BIG THANK YOU for your continuous support. Your contribution helps change many lives for His kingdom.
