Second Manse Project

The pictures [in the slideshow below] show work in progress at Barham Green Methodist Church with respect of our 2nd Manse. The Lord has been kind to us as work is progressing well so far.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Barham Green and Hillside teams for catering for the workers for the past two weeks and to remind the Nketa team that it’s their turn next week.
I am at the same time, kindly appealing to all those who pledged for building materials, to urgently honour their pledges so that work doesn’t have to stop.
Lastly, this is the work of God for all those with a willing heart to take part.
May the Good Lord bless each and every one of us as we continue to work together in His vineyard for the Glory of His name.
Message from Circuit Steward Mrs Gloria Nyamambi.
