The Trees are Down!

We are pleased to report that all seven palm trees were successfully cut down. Workers are on site at the office today digging up and removing the tree stumps which are huge. We thank the Lord for His protection and precise falling of these big trees. Thank you for praying for God's protection!

SPECIAL PRAYER REQUESTS

• Please pray for God's protection around the men and workers who will be cutting down SEVEN extremely tall palm trees on Tuesday, 28th October which border CEF's property. Ask God to guide the falling of each tree so as to prevent personal injury and damage to property. Ask the Lord to provide the necessary finances to have these trees removed.
  

• We were thrilled today to resubmit the architectural plans for CEF's new national office and training center to the Lautoka City Council. We expect the approval and issue of a building permit by Christmas time. What a GRAND GIFT that will be!
  

Hurdle Crossed...Thank the Lord!

Late this afternoon, word came that the National Fire Authority and the Occupational Health Services Dept. have granted their official approval for the architectural design of CEF's new office and training facility. This has been long in coming and we praise the Lord for this victory! Siki, who serves on the staff of CEF Fiji, labored long and hard in Suva this week, in soggy, wet weather with a cold to secure these approvals. How we praise the Lord for Siki and his perseverance!

Please pray now for the NEXT STEP which is to resubmit these drawings to the local city council in anticipation that a building permit will soon be issued. We plan to submit these documents to the local authority on Monday, October 27th.

Cent-A-Vote & Buy-A-Brick Cards Available!

We have begun distribution within Fiji of our 10 Cents-a-Vote & Buy-A-Brick cards. We're so excited to have already received $70.00 in just the first couple of days. This may be small in light of the thousands of dollars that we need to raise, but it IS a beginning.

It is especially thrilling to see boys and girls raising the funds that will help us reach other children for Jesus Christ in the years to come.

It has been exciting to witness the enthusiasm of the adults, too, in helping us to raise the necessary funds. Please continue to pray for God's provision!

If you would like to have your own 10-Cent a Vote card (valued at $10.00 per card) and/or a Buy-a-Brick card (valued at $100 per card), please email us (form to the right) and we will gladly send some to you.

Drawing Attention: The Signboards are Up!

We are so thrilled to have the new Moriah Project signboards up at the front of CEF's property! PRAY for the eyes of God's people to be drawn to these boards and that they will respond by giving and praying!

God has no economic woes!

Today: A Beehive of Activity!

Today turned out to be a GREAT day in terms of getting some things done for the Moriah Project. Here's some of the "highlights" of today's accomplishments:

• The architect showed up at the office with the final drawings of a beautifully-designed fence that will be built when the new office is completed.
  
• We were able to get the property surveyed and "pegs" marked to show the boundary lines. This was a great accomplishment.
• The Fijian men on staff were able to cement new poles for The Moriah Project signboard and the beautiful signboard should be installed tomorrow, the Lord-willing. Check back for pictures!
  
• Fourthly, we've made frequent requests with local city authorities to remove seven 5-story palm trees and our requests apparently fell on deaf ears every time. The trees need to be removed in preparation for the construction and to prevent property damage in case of a cyclone. Imagine our great delight to discover today that the trees are on our boundary line and we will now be able to remove them at our own will! Praise the Lord!
