 Foundation Laying

Masih ki jai -- Praise the Lord

 

After waiting, praying, planting 5 daughter churches it was time for us to begin the construction of the New Sanctuary. On Monday May 25, the main foundation was laid and the 1st stage of the building began. It is expected that the 1st stage will be completed in 6 weeks.

The foundation laying ceremony was the most exciting event for all of us. Many years of dream becoming reality. It was a historical event at Kinoya Assembly.

We serve a living, loving and a miracle working God.

 

Rev Andrew ChandraWhole of last week we prepared for the Monday’s event. The weather wasfine. However, on Sunday it rained all day it was like a cyclone had hit Suva. There was a spirit of dismay and discouragement. Everyone prayed for fine weather on Monday.

Praise the Lord. Monday 25th was the most beautiful day seen in Suva.Church Members

The ceremony began with Rev Andrew Chandra, Assistant Pastor, as the MC welcoming all who came. Followed by Pastor James Chand thanking God for the good weather and committing the ceremony to God.

We sang Hymns, “How great Thou Art” and “dhanya parmeshwar shaktiman” Followed with words of encouragement by Rev Keni, The A/G Divisional Superintendent and Rev Slater A/G Missionary Representative.
