Prov 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (KJV) The New American Standard says, “Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, But happy is he who keeps the law.

The truth is, no matter what you are doing with your life if you have a vision your life will be marked with discipline and order. The discipline is proof of a life of vision. For instance if you want to save money up for a project you will order your finances and even skip buying things you don’t need to put money away for your project. We call that budgeting but in bible terms vision equals discipline or restraint!

We are doing that very thing here at Fountain of Life in the renovation of the Big House. Since our vision for the Big House is to renovate that building into our next sanctuary we need to communicate or evaluate our progress from time to time. And so this newsletter is toward that purpose.

First I want to thanks all of the workers for their hard work and faithfulness to sacrifice their time for this project. We cannot do this project without people willing to sacrifice their sweat equity! And I also want to thanks those that have given toward the needs of the Big House. God Bless all of You J

Currently we are removing lathe and plaster from the upper rooms (the area that will house our guest speakers). As the lathe and plaster are removed we will insolate and put a new bath centered between a living area and bedroom. It will basically be an efficiency apartment. (It is located in the uppermost room)

We have also been working in the basement building new supports for the beams that hold up the sanctuary floor. Believe me it’s been beefed up to support all those runners for JesusJ. We will also be adding floor to the area the previous owner had cut out. I plan to have the garage door removed and the back of the building closed up by winter.

Also in the basement we are laying the walls to the kitchen. The planning is really exciting. This past spring we replaced three bearing walls. Boy did those walls take a while! (But you don’t hurry bearing walls).

In the near future we will be replacing the roof over the office with a rubber roof. We have just purchased the material to do that part of the roof. This kind of material is perfect for flat roofs. You remember last November we replaced the main roof with new shingles. So as you can see we have been busy. 

To date we have spent $ 5537.00 on the project (that does not count the monthly payments toward the purchase of the Big House). We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but step by step each piece of the project will be finished until the day we can move in. 

All of the time, money and hard work are for the Lords cause, his harvest. Never forget it’s all about people! The people yet to come to the Lord we are preparing for them. Many, many, many thanks to all that have helped us!

God Bless,

Pastor Ken
