Building Fund Completed!

Well, it’s happened, and we’re so grateful. In the last two weeks, with more than $100,000 still to raise, large numbers of you responded incredibly and positively to a special letter from Dr Carl Wieland, our Managing Director. The resultant surge in the fund has meant that we have now closed it, and in fact are writing (have written) to a number of supporters explaining that we now have the wonderful problem of some ‘overshoot’, with their donation part of that, giving the option of a refund or permission to use it for other important purposes.

It seems mindblowing that
a) we only had to ask for less than ¼ of this amazing, purpose-built HQ building.
b) the $981,000 was donated in around 17 months—a ministry record far exceeding our expectations (the last building fund took some three years, and was for around half that amount).

NEW PICS

We thought we would show you some recent photos of the building (your building, too, as you are part of the ministry) inside and out (following). Buildings are just ‘dead bricks and mortar’ in one way, but the real blessing for us is the Lord’s incredible timing.

Because without the extra room for all the recent extra staff, we don’t know how we would have been able to manage.

This refers to all the extra tasks we now have the privilege and responsibility of performing here on behalf of the other affiliated global CMI offices.

This includes not just website maintenance for six ‘separate’ websites, but also the associated webstores. This ‘global cooperation’ increases the efficiency of operations for all offices. Please check out the pictures and captions of what you have helped to obtain, something which will benefit global outreach for many years to come.
