Getting down to the Nitty Gritty

I am a numbers person.  I love numbers, trust the hard facts, and like that everything that reconciles on a nice, neat spreadsheet. You can imagine this can drive people nuts (like Larry or even me).

I appreciate that...
Pastor Peter spent a lot of time gathering numbers, verifying information, and securing tangible costs for this project.  He developed a budget with detailed cost information that assures all interested that when we reach the fundraising goal of $10,000 there will be a wonderful building for the school, Siloam Junior Academy. That budget can be found on the Lake Union Church website, http://lakeunionchurch.org/by_the_numbers. Siloam Junior Academy is the school operated by the Siloam Community Outreach Church. Peter Mabonga is the pastor of this church.

How you can help! Today at the Lake Union Church service, Brent shared with people they can support this project by

• purchasing t-shirts, string bags and water bottles (http://lakeunionchurch.org/siloam_project)
• giving financially (ANY amount impacts the project positively); this blog has the PayPal link or go to  (http://lakeunionchurch.org/siloam_project)
• donate needed items (good used laptop, basic printer, smartphone, iPad or notebook, camera) (contact me if you can help with any of these)
• pray for the 140 kids/souls each day who need this school (you have a direct link to the Big guy; no web link needed)

Where are we at on the project!? We are posting progress on the building project on the same web page, http://lakeunionchurch.org/by_the_numbers.  With a portion of the contributions to date, the church this week will give Pastor Peter the endorsement to work with the architect and processing fees, securing licenses, etc. needed by the government to proceed with the building.  This can take a while so we are excited Pastor Peter can begin.
