Work on the church continues as Minnesota and Michigan team members reach the USA. They will be sorely missed for all the work they did and by the local Xhosa people they have learned to love and respect.

 

 Today we hired Kwalo to complete the brick work under the roof. This will protect the roof from winds. Kwalo worked for us last year as we built the walls to roof level.

 Pastors Maxwell and Headman measure each opening to insure the correct size for doors and windows.

 Contrasting buildings. In America as a new building comes into operation we would not hesitate to demolish an old one like this or set it ablaze. But in Mdantsane things are different. Pastor Ngxazo from a settlement some 5 or 6 miles away has asked for the building. When the new church is functional Pastor Ngxazo and his church members will disassemble the old building and put it back together again. And you can bet Pastor Ngxazo's church will be praising God for the opportunity to have a church building all their own.
