The building had no running water, no kitchen, no heating on Nov 9 when worship services began, but people joyfully came to celebrate God's goodness. Since then we have had some people pull back from helping start, other people commit. We are currently at 6 people for whom this is their church home.
The entryway is waiting for siding, a cross, and a signboard- still you can enter the building.
The building has changed- the multipurpose room, was a 4 car garage. When the sanctuary is finished, this will be the classroom and dining room.Since Nov 9th , the roof has been put on the entryway addition, water and sewage are hooked up, heating stoves installed, and the kitchen usable.
In addition to having 4 worship services in the new facility, there have been 2 parenting classes, 2 wreath making classes, 8 English classes and a sit down Thanksgiving meal for 50 people.
A new ad was finally made for the chapel and it was delivered to the 200 homes in the village where the chruch is located.
Upcoming special plans are for a cooking class on the 11th and a Christmas meeting on the 20th.
The open house/barbeque on Nov 1st had a number of people from parenting classes and special meetings. We pray they will connect.
The Thanksgiving Party had turkey and pie- and the rest of course. 50 people sat down to eat and then there were games after. 
The gymn has been well used. It was an apple and box storage area but its nice to have a place where people can run at will.So where is the chapel at with regards to finances- little by litle renovation costs are being paid for. The big challenge is the land purchase- the final payment needs to be made March 1st and we have none of the required funds. But as God has led, so He will provide.
