progress report

Sorry for not updating much recently. Here's all the latest news...
Most of the major building work has been completed. The electrics have fallen behind due to the recent bout of flu but hopefully it'll be finished by the end of next week.
We now have carpet and sofas and are in the process of arranging for flooring to be fitted. We can't wait til it's done!!! It's been a long process and not quite as smooth as we'd hoped but we've learnt a lot ready for next time we undertake any building projects!!
It's been great to see people getting behind the project and helping out. We had quite a few people sign up last weekend to help. I'm really looking forward to working with all the volunteers and building a really good team. If anyone else wants to sign up it's not too late - come and talk to me or Jeff, we still need plenty more people!!!
Thank you so much for all the prayers, support, free stuff and words of encouragement. Please continue to pray...
-for the churches to work together
-for protection over the building and the work going on
-for wisdom, courage and strength for me and Jeff as we lead the project

We shall name it....Rodney?!

We finally have a name for the cafe.....

Cafe izaya

Why? We wanted a name that encompassed some of our vision and the things God's been speaking to us about. After much experiementing with water related names we srapped them all and started again. God's been speaking to us loads through the book of Isaiah - so much that it'd be impossible to pick out one key verse, we'd have to share half the book. So we decided to name the cafe after it. but we all know how hard it is to spell so we invented our own spelling and took the north American pronunciation in honour of Jeff's Canandianess.
Hope you like it. Please feel free to leave comments. Thanks
