Living Way Campus is coming alive



A lot of us have worked like crazy to get the campus to a place that is presentable for our community open house in a couple of weeks. Richard, the general manager, and John Thomas the visionary, have been in the states fundraising for us like crazy. We had a college team here from Delaware that spent lots of hours moving everything imaginable and cleaning about 6mths worth of neglect. We have had 10 locals’ to work alongside of us for the last couple of weeks and it has been great being able to pay them when most of the time they are sitting along the side of the road looking for work or at home in their shacks because there aren’t enough jobs available. Unfortunately all that must come to an end. We have shot our “wad” as they say in the states. We want to ask you to pray with us to find the provisions needed to keep up the site and the right people for the jobs. We need to be able to have a couple of people full time to keep the grounds maintained and a cleaning person so that we don’t have to go back in a few months and start all over. Maintenance is so much easier!! We have a couple of individual volunteers one from Georgia and one from the UK. Jeremy, from Dalton Ga., has felt called to be the site manager for the time he is here that is a big help to us right now. They have been awesome in working with us to be mentors to these guys and girls and sharing the love of Christ through prayer and just spending time working with them. I am always amazed at how God provides for all of our needs and I have faith that He will do so once again. Thanks for your prayers and support.
I added a photo of our computer classroom because I found it so amazing that the colors already painted in the room were the Living Way colors. God has team spirit! That was one room we didn’t have to paint inside!!
