Lubin Church Building Update
14 June, 2019
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Lubin, Poland! As most of you know through various posts and newsletters, the Lubin Baptist Church some years ago received land from the city for 1 % of it’s value. Seeing that God had given a gift of immense value, the church decided unanimously to step out in faith and start building a physical building that could be used for Sunday worship services as well as to train and equip believers. It is also a tool to be used as a community and language center where people can come and be exposed to the truth.
It has been an amazing journey where God has met the financial need to the point at where we are today. The building is structurally set up for two main functions: 1. Main meeting auditorium 2. Social side – to be used for our English Center, apartments, fellowship hall, kitchen and the possibility of having a fellowship hall for youth on the top floor.
The foundation has been laid, all the walls built, roof put on, most of the windows installed, a lot of the wiring put in, plumbing in, floor heating pipes in and the concrete floor has been poured on the social side. As I write this letter Insulation is being put in and plaster being applied to the walls.
This is good and we are moving forward, but the resources that we currently have will be depleted soon. We are currently scheduled to move into our new building, Lord willing by the middle of September. In order for us be able to do this, the following needs to be completed:
• Complete classrooms 1, 2,3 on the ground floor
• At least 2 of the 3 bathrooms completed
• Fellowship area – which will be used for temporary church services as well as a café and waiting area during the week for the “Logos” Language Center
• Halls, stairs and bathrooms tiled
• Classrooms either tiled or flooring laid
• Ceiling panels put in
• Lights installed
• Walls painted
I received an estimate of the cost for materials and labor: The estimate also includes some items for the next floor up as well – like bathrooms and or doors. Here is a financial estimate for the items needed for us to be able to have a smooth move.
