This small house behind my home has been my work shop and storage area for the 38 years we have lived here. Now we are gutting and remodeling it for my new office. Nothing fancy, only functional.

The first load of lumber is delivered to start the remodeling on the inside.

The first walls are studded in place.

A new sub-floor is put in to cover the old broken and unlevel concrete beneath.

ND alumni, John Fraser, does the remodeling. He is a licensed contractor who has been on many mission work trips with me across the years.

In the midst of this building project, Professor Mohamed-Ibrahim Yattara, and his wife Fatouma, came to stay with us for 5 days of speaking. Since he worked his way through Bible College painting, I put him to work helping me paint the new walls!

To save money, I did all of the painting with the help of Mohamed.

We had great fellowship painting together—and some of the paint actually got on the walls and ceiling!

New doors are prepared to be installed.

John’s assistant, Rodney, was a great blessing in this project—which I could not have done without them.

When it came time to move out of the NDI Headquarters which has been sold, my good friend, Ted Randall, sent over his movers. He is from Providence Church in Raleigh and a veteran of many mission teams.

Since the building will not be completed for a couple more weeks, we are having to store everything on my driveway.

Here are the strong men who did all of the moving for me—what a blessing and back-saver!

Praise God for brothers like Ted and his men who do their “moving and shaking” for the Lord! They have helped me load a number of containers for shipping to Africa.

Here is all of Patt and my office furniture waiting for the new office to be completed. Now pray that it does not rain! What I cannot fit into my new small office I will ship to a Bible College in Zimbabwe we are helping build.
