Dear Croatian friends,
We would like to take a moment to share with you a
pressing need of our church.
As we have previously informed you, our church has relocated to new facilities. This move has been exhausting, but we have managed to raise enough money to do the renovation work needed to make the move. The first phase of renovation included building a drywall to divide the building into offices, classrooms, and a sanctuary. For the time being, we only have doors for two rooms: the sanctuary and the office; while, the
other rooms still wait. All the needs for this renovation were not entirely made known until we could actually move in. There is still some more work to be done, as well as equipment to be purchased, in order to be able to have our services.
Currently, we still need
flooring for the sanctuary, kids' rooms, and coffee bar/lounge area (along with its furnishings). As of now, we have a concrete floor, and by being able to install carpeting in the sanctuary and kids' rooms, this will not only make it more comfortable and warm (especially for small children that play on the floor), but also to help insulate the sound that is produced during service. Lately, there have been complaints from other residents about the noise, as we have our services in residential building. So, we are required to install additional insulation, if we do not want to have legal charges against us.
We would like to share with you, in detail, what we are looking at financially so that you can pray with us and possibly consider partnering with us financially in this project. We need a miracle from God but we know that we serve a God that does miracles! Phase two:
Flooring: $ 8,000 Doors: $ 2,500 Coffee/lounge area: $ 3,000 Sound isolation: $ 3,000
Total amount needed:
$16,700
Thank you all so very much for your prayers and faithful support of our ministry. May the Lord richly bless you.
Blessings,
Mario and Bonnie Ducic
