Here's a look at what use to be... what used to be was a barn about 35 years old that was a place for horses and llamas. Now, it's being transformed into the retreat--and how appropriate! So much happened in barns, didn't it? It was the place where God chose to make his first physical appearance in the birth of the baby, boy named Jesus. So, we're proud to have a barn for our retreat. This will eventually be a 5,000 sq. ft. retreat center that will have a great room with a stack stone fireplace, a conference room for 12 people to meet for team meetings; a kitchen, two 1/2 baths, (one handicap accessible) and three breakout rooms up stairs where the old hayloft was. The floors already have in-floor radiant heating installed and are stamped, scored concrete in the shape of large diamonds.
The week of August 15, the septic system will be installed. The cost for the septic system is $22,000. We are taking a step-by-step way of making the progress. As God raises the funds through our generous donors, we are going to invest this into the retreat. Our goal is to have the barn winterized with heat and all windows and doors installed by October 15.
We are so glad that two mission teams are scheduled to come now. One from Olathea Kansas is coming mid-September and another team from Wisconsin is coming from Elmbrook church October 1.
