YWAM Turner Valley – Nehemiah Project Fundraiser
A building project to build up what God has already given them in Turner Valley, Alberta, Canada.
YWAM Monrovia, Liberia
Hello Friends, we want to share with you some of our plans for 2013.
The Lord has blessed us with 1.5 acre of land, along the road leading to the international airport. But this land need to be developed, we are paying too much on rent and we can’t continue this any more. We always take the last quarter of the year raising money for our rent.
The estimated cost of the first building was put to $50,000, but we have decided now to use some local materials for the construction of the first two buildings (Residential and Administrative). So, with this new development we will be able to use the same amount to construct two of the buildings. We need $10,000 to start the foundation for the two building in November 2013.
