Building estimate is in!!!

Thanks to Daniel and Cesar we now have an estimate for the new dormitory building in Mexicali. We will build a shell building with 2 stories, actually the shell will be built by the contractor down there. Then we will send several construction crews from Woodward Park to finish the work. (The picture above and to the right is the proposed new dormitory for the student preachers.) The estimate we received is to build this dormitory. We are hoping that it can be finished in time for classes in September 2008. The building will house approximately 10 men and 2 families. In Mexicali we already have 2 men who have commited themselves to being trained to preach the gospel. The estimate for phase 1, which will be the shell building, is $42,000.00 U.S. dollars. (This is for the bottom floor only, we are working on the estimate for the entire project.) Phase 2 will be for members to travel with us to complete the building on several trips to Mexicali.

On Friday and Saturday December 7, 8, 2007 several men met in Mexicali to discuss the preacher training project in Mexicali. Those men pictured above are 1. Estaban Lopez, 2. Terry Hinton, 3. Jim Minor, 4. Daniel Marquez, 5. Rudy Wray and 6. Joe Boe. The meeting was very succesful and great plans were discussed and presented to God for blessing. Rudy, from Sunset International Bible Institute, said that he had received about $6,000.00 for the video and internet equipment needed for the project. We will be able to reach into the interior of Mexico and Central America with the Mexicali project. With God's blessing we will be able to teach men to preach from all parts of latin America.

In january we will again meet in Lubbock, Texas to sign the "official" papers establishing the working aggreement between S. I. B. I., Woodward Park church of Christ and the Mexicali brethren. These are exciting time for the outreach to the Mexicali and Latin American population. Please let us know if you are interested in helping us with this project.
