Conference Activities begin

Pictures: Top one shows Lori and I with the architect Mr Duncan Ndege, the second one is Seth Miller speaking today at the Youth Conference and the last is from the top of the hill as you approach the property. More of the finished floor area to come.

Yesterday in the rain a big top tent was set up on the new floor to get ready for the 2011 Annual Meeting activities. Today the Women's and Youth Conferences began. The concrete floor is about 80 % complete and is the base upon which the big tent is located. We are so thankful that the workers were able to complete this much - even though they ran out of cement last week since there is a shortage here in Malawi currently. This week there are estimates of over 300 people coming for Conference and so far the sun was out most of today to help make the first day a good start. Temperatures are a bit cool but we are so thankful for the sunshine.

Donations are now utilized and we are awaiting more funds so the building can continue later in August. The photos are of today's Conference action. More later as the weekend progresses.
