Today was a grand day. There were well over 80 people that attended this spectacular day's event.  It was the culmination of many hours of prayer, lots of discussions, difficult decisions,  strategic planning, a feasibility study, recruiting volunteers to help with our silent capital campaign, soliciting partners to give of their time, talents and treasure, planning for our women and children's safety during construction, tracking of pledges, thanking the many people that have helped in this process, and finally giving glory and honor to our Lord.

The shelter began well over ten years ago as small whisper upon Sue Hoffeditz' heart. What began as the church and her righteous anger over the lack of resources for women suffering from domestic abuse, turned into something much bigger than anyone thought.

Well tomorrow is our official groundbreaking ceremony. It has been a long process, dating back many years. A lot of planning, prayer and hours have went into the expansion project. We have been so very blessed to have Jeff Rigdon with Edwards-Rigdon helping guide us the construction project. Along with Bob Snyder with BSA Lifestructure to help with the creation and development of the architectural part of the project. Both men and organizations have donated and dedicated many works hours to helping us define what is being built.

It will be a grand day that I hope all will see God's glory.
