Conference Center Update
The project will continue on!
The work on the Conference Center Lodge will continue as soon as the snow is gone. At this time, the septic and rough electrical systems are inspected and approved for use, the sheetrock is about half way done, and the plumbing is just about ready for the rough inspection. The Lord continues to bless this ministry by allowing us to slowly move forward with this construction.
We also have been blessed by more workgroups coming to work on this project. Again this year, we will have two wonderful groups coming to minister with us.
First, is a youth group and their leaders (all guys) that are coming for a week from,
Cornerstone Church of Skippack, Skippack, Pennsylvania. This is Tim Lindsay's home church, our Director.
Second, a another group is coming from our most involved workgroup church (at least the 13th workgroup to come and serve)
Indian Valley Faith Fellowship, Harleysville, Pennsylvania. Perry and Sandy's PA home church
Also, two groups of five retired couples will be coming from all over the country, to minister here for six weeks in the months of August and September.
Volunteer Mobile Missionaries (VMM) from all over the USA.
And finally, to all of you in this area that have helped on the lodge --
Loving people from all over this area.
Thanks to their/your love for our Lord and their/your servant hearts, the Conference Center Lodge is well over half way done. All work on this project is stopped for the winter, but we will continue the work next spring.
We do have a large need for prayer and finances.
Unfortunately, as we continued construction this past summer, we came up against a problem with some permits and inspections to finish the lodge. We will need to use more licensed installers to install a fire proof stove range hood, vent fans, heaters, and woodstove. This change is because we are defined as a commercial facility, so more restrictions apply to us.
Because of these changes, we will need to raise $35,000.00 - $50,000.00 more to finish these changes.
Please be in prayer for:
* the permits and inspections that are needed
* the $32,000.00 - $50,000.00 extra funds needed
And Praise our Lord for:
* the volunteers needed to keep the work going

In the fall of 2014, we began the prep work for building our Conference Center Lodge, and here are a few pictures of the work.
