The Church Office Building: Before... and After!

Well, I thought you all might like to see a before and after of the exterior of church entrance part of the building! It took a little while... from Oct. 2008 to September 2010... but it is worth it to see the difference! I would like to thank everyone who had a part in helping renovate this building. Thank you so much! I especially want to thank Ken Mansell whose work and guidance is invaluable and essential!

The back before: (Before we bought the building)

The back after:

The north side before:

The north side after(with new steeper roof): (a summer growth is kinda high at the field next door)

Building After:

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

Siding: The Final Product

Siding: Day 3

Howdy from Hokkaido! The entire front of the church entrance and north wall is done now. Tomorrow they will work on the higher up north wall and the back of the building. Thanks for praying.















End of day three.

Siding: Day 2

Greetings! Here are some photos of the second day of the siding work. Pictured is siding worker Mr. Inoue. He has been working alone the first two days because his company is so busy right now and has the other workers at other locations.

Siding: Day 1

Praise the Lord! We are finally getting the siding done on the church entrance portion of the building! Here are some pictures from the first day.













Please pray for the workers safety and for us as we try to witness to them.

We see the new siding going up and think, "Boy, it sure looks good and it would be nice to get the other part of the building done now too!" But, we don't mind waiting for awhile to be able to get the other part done.

Thank you all for praying for us here in Shibetsu! Take care.

Serving Jesus,
Alan
