Greater Things Are Yet to Come



The pictures serve as proof! With each day that passes, we move closer and closer to completing our work on Grandma Bet’s home. God has continued to bring together members of the community to see His dream fulfilled. Tom Wrenn has completed the soffit installation and also delivered the kitchen appliances. Rick Miller of Miller’s Central Air has finished the final HVAC equipment installation. Ronnie Hathaway of Hathaway’s Land Services, Inc. has completed the final grade. Paula Tharpe of Tiles by Fran has supplied all the master bathroom tile, which Mike Corby of Corby Tile is presently installing. Wow- isn’t God great at orchestrating all of this?! It’s amazing when we surrender to His plan how He uses each of us individually to work towards one common goal for His kingdom. We get the opportunity to exchange our small story for a role in His big one.

So, what’s left for Grandma Bet’s house? We know she’s anxious to get in, and we can’t wait to see the finished product ourselves. Excitement and anticipation fill the air! There are a few items that will be taken care of this week:
Plumbing top-out
Installation of fascia
Insulation in the attic
Installation of shelving and bathroom mirrors
Completion of master bathroom shower tile
Forming the driveway

Before the final inspection, there are more tasks to be completed:
Installation of medicine cabinets
Interior door hardware
Master bathroom shower plumbing fixtures
Final connection to appliances
Pouring the driveway
Installation of the irrigation system
Landscape and sod

Can you believe how far we’ve come?

Since this project is coming to a close, Kingdom Builders is praying for direction about several new projects that have been brought to our attention. Yesterday, I had the privilege, along with several other members of the Kingdom Builders Board of Directors, to meet a long time friend of Grandma Bet’s, known by all as Mrs. Pudding (Wesley). Presently in her seventies, Mrs. Pudding (pictured below with Lisa) is busy taking care of her eighty-two year old husband, who is blind. While talking, we were able to identify some of Mrs. Pudding’s needs, such as: an exterior handicap ramp, electrical repairs, possible termite treatment, and a new utility room and handicap bathroom addition.

“Never stop praying” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Please join us in lifting up our ministry and Mrs. Pudding’s needs before our Savior in order to gain the direction He wants to give us. We're not finished yet; this is only the beginning! As Chris Tomlin’s song, God of This City (click here for youtube video) says, “Greater things are yet to come; greater things are still to be done here.”

REMINDER TO ALL: Maurice (Deacon) Wilson's church New Life Assembly is having family and friends day this coming Sunday 6-7-09 @ 3:00 PM. Maurice said, anyone who is interested in some good fellowship is more than welcome to attend. If you have any questions, you can call Maurice @ 243-1053.
