The Walls are Up

Sunday, November 1, 2009: A great volunteer work crew from Alberta were here last week and helped Gerry with framing up the first floor of Phase One. Even though we had a snowfall, the crew worked with enthusiasm and humor and got a lot accomplished, right up to the floor joists for the second floor. The weather has warmed up again and we are continuing on with the building, planning to have the first level closed in before winter sets in. God's faithfulness encourages us daily.

Construction Starts

On Thursday, August 20 we received the long-awaited permit to begin construction for the Charles Shepson Lodge. The next Tuesday was an exciting day as the cement trucks pulled up and the footings were poured.

The Lodge

It has taken several months to receive final permission to proceed with construction of The Charles Shepson Lodge. The preliminary work has been completed—footings are completed and work is underway for the foundation walls of the first level. It is exciting to see how God has provided funds that will allow us to complete the first step of Phase One which was our commitment for 2009.

2009 Dinner Tour

The dinner tour of 2009 was such a blessing in many ways. Faithful partners and new friends joined us in Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, and Vernon to celebrate God's faithfulness to the ministry at Fairhaven. Once again we were assured of the prayer and financial support of so many to stand by us as we continue to provide care for leaders and build new facilities.
