The entire project is estimated at $1.7 million, and we have currently raised $308,214.56.

For the advancement of God's kingdom and glory, the church plans to actively complete this site renovation project this year. We invite brothers and sisters to actively participate in intercessory prayer and give according to the abundance grace and inspiration they receive from God【First Fruit Offering】.
