We are seeing the finish line !







The dorm rooms are coming along, we still need to finish putting together 6 dressers, and unload the rest of the mattresses and finalize the completed design of the rooms. Last Saturday was an awesome work day, with many individuals and families coming together to get the process started.
We currently have two girls waiting to move into the dorms; this week got calls from 2 more, one in Stoughton and one from Kentucky..please pray for wisdom from God to know who we are to take in. Also, please pray as we seek Him for a timeline....we are excited to share with you that over $10,000 of the $30,000 has come in, so we will be putting in the heating system beginning next week. Please pray that we will be able to get the Home completed to the point that the Inspector will give us early occupancy until we can finish Phase III.
School is well into session, and we added another student; actually we welcomed back Amber, along with Hailey, Katie, Morgan, BethAnne, Allison, and Jasmine.
We are excited to be hosting our 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sunday, October 26th. The event begins at 5:00 p.m. at Grace Church, 500 S. Main Street in Walworth.
