This week the Glebe Administration Board approved a $1.5 million dollar unsecured loan to Dapto Anglican Church for our new building. The level of our pledges exceeded their requirements and now the full funding for the building project is in place. Obviously the sooner the funds roll in, the less interest we will end up paying over the life of the project. What it means is that once Wollongong Council approval is received we can move to tender and contracting builders expeditiously.

Praise God for your generosity and commitment. One of the encouraging aspects of our pledge responses was the number of first time pledges we received. I have heard many stories of how families and friends spent much time and prayer arriving at their commitment. THANK YOU.

Some key points for your prayers:
• Pray that formal Council approval is received within the next three weeks.
• Pray as the plans are drawn up for the new entrance to our existing building (an important first step which can be built as soon as the D.A. is received)
• Pray that we will quickly find the right major building contractor once the tendering process begins.
