Okay, so before we get to our prophecy update, I'm going to kindly ask that you allow me to give you a very brief progress report on our building.

For those of you online who do not wish to see this, you can fast forward. I think it's only going to be about

four minutes, maybe five at the most. I'm going to go very fast. I am doing this, by the way,

mainly for the benefit of our online church because many have asked that we keep them

updated and apprised of the progress. And so because it's been about a month since we did

this, I'm going to show you what the Lord has done. And I'm also going to talk about what we

anticipate being the date that we're able to occupy the building. First though, I want to thank all of you

who have given both locally here and then online as well. And those especially who continue

to give because if all of you continue to give so generously at this current rate of giving, we could be in

our building as early as November. Now I know what you're thinking. I thought you said October.

I did. I also said December of last year, but never mind that. We had hoped to be in by October, and I suppose it could still happen, but in order for

that to happen, we would need for the Lord who's always so faithful to provide both the

final permit and the needed finances in order to do so. So please, I say that to say this and ask this really, please continue to pray for the

permit and also for the finances.

So what I'm going to do very briefly is refer to what I'll call the before, during, and current photos.

And they're quite dramatic to show what God has done is doing and we believe we'll continue

to do until we complete the building.

What you're looking at here is a picture of the building when we first acquired it back

in 2014.

This is during the renovation and even the demolition.

And this was also during that we cut out an extra entrance there in the front as seen here.

And here's what it looks like today.
