International Distribution Center & New Worship Facility
God has given Pastor Paul a vision for a distribution center and a new worship facility. On August 2, 2010, we started to clear the land for the new distribution center. Trees were cut down, dirt was bulldozed, and the land was ready to begin the construction process. We are moving quickly and want to keep up the momentum!
On August 9, 2010, workers started to dig the foundation. Once the land was ready, the concrete foundation was poured. JC Structures brought in 25 cement trucks every 20 minutes- about 1 million pounds of concrete! Once the foundaiton was finished, workers begain putting up the steal beams on the outside of the building. The workers then began putting up the walls and roof which took about a month to construct. On November 9, 2010, Pastors Paul & Carolyn dedicated the building by placing two Bibles in the concrete where the loading docks are located. We are building on a "sure foundation". On January 17, 2011, the floors, walls and roof were completed and the first large garage door was installed. Also the water and sewer lines were put in. National Grid installed the natural gas line so that construction can now begin inside the building.
In the Spring of 2011, we received a shipment of shelving units that were installed inside. In the beginning of June, crews came to grade the land around the building and put in a gravel driveway. Currently, we are gearing up to finish things so that the distiribution center can be operational in the Fall of 2011. Below are pictures of the construction process.
Continue to pray daily for our Pastors, the Leadership, the Body of Christ, and the vision of Harvest Church. We can support the vision by being willing and obedient to God as He directs us to give of our time, talents, and treasure.
Habakkuk 2:2 says to "...Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by".
The Vision
International Distribution Center
A building that will facilitate the storage and distribution of food, clothing, furniture, and other items to individuals and families in need in our surrounding communities.
In addition, we will work in unison with governmental agencies and non-profit organizations in an effort to reach and help not only those locally, but potentially throughout New York State and internationally.
Worship Facility
A facility that will accommodate the great end-time harvest of souls. "...Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting" (John 4:35). It will provide a sanctuary for the lost and dying, and a home for the Body of Christ for instruction, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayers (Acts 2:42).
Luke 4:18 - "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor".
Thank you for your prayers and financial support. They are needed and appreciated. Together we are reaching the nations and the people of our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ before His soon return.
