The construction of the wall around the church in Kpalime is now completed and the people are so excited to finally have a secure compound where they don’t have to worry about persecution from the neighboring Muslim community. Thank you so much for your support in this project. God is so faithful and good and it is absolutely awesome to see a project like this get completed, especially when it is so important for the safety of the people and church.

Here are some updated pictures of the construction of the wall around the church property in Kpalime.
The first stage of the church building is to get the exterior wall around the church property finished. This is something that was started previously but was never finished. This guarantees a certain level of security to ensure that once a new church building is started that no one can interfere with the project. We have partnered with the local church to accomplish this by tripling whatever they can contribute to the project. The local pastor, Roger Abaya, split the church into groups based on the day they were born. He challenged each group to raise 30,000 CFA each even though many of the people said they had nothing they could give. They collected their offering at the end of February and they were able to bring in over 300,000 CFA which is about $600 US. Pastor Abaya said, “It is amazing to see the joy in the faces of the people. Everyone wanted to give even the last thing they have. I was so touched and glad to reach that amount of money. You can see people’s situations and wonder if they can give but they all do their best. Glory be to God.” Through the efforts of the people in Kpalime and those supporting WAKE Ministries we were able to raise over 1,200,000 CFA which will build over 40 meters of the wall or about 135 ft of 8 ft high cement wall. That will leave about 35 meters left to build. We will continue to partner with the local church in Kaplime to accomplish this first stage. We will have pictures soon that will show the building of the wall as soon as the bricklayer starts construction.
