IIAW - Unity Center Update
Dear IIAW Friends,
Here is an update from Billy Tharp on the Unity Center progress.
The men's and women's wellness clinic rooms are moving along well. God provided a contractor who was willing to give us a great price - $1200 per room. We bought materials which came to about $1400. We were given a $5000 donation and it's been a blessing to be able to hire skilled help to move this along faster, since I have been working full-time again. We are praying for alignment of funds to finish the wellness rooms. We will need about another $2500 to buy the heating and air units and install them. I have already had a contractor out and have a bid on the materials and labor to install. We need to install these first before the contractor can finish, as they are installed through the wall and must be in for him to finish. We have all the parts for the 3-basin commercial sink. A water heater tank was donated and our company, BMH, Inc, has donated the grease trap. The plumber has been scheduled and the work to get the permits and move forward with installation started Tuesday, April 28th. LOVE NEVER FAILS - Billy Tharp
Electrical work to upgrade the kitchen and wellness rooms is complete. The Jesus Store is taped and ready to paint. The women's space is under way with emptying, cleaning, and painting. A welcome/hospitality room is completed for the Beloveds, next to the multi-purpose room on the main level. New chairs and tables donated for the coffee shop in the worship sanctuary on the lower level. Leather upholstered chairs donated for the Multi-purpose room and worship room for Team Jesus, KC. Team Jesus distributed 125 bags to the Beloveds at 9 camps last Saturday. A small crew of volunteers assembled prepackaged food with fresh fruit, and bags of personal supplies. Thank you to all those who donated items for this outreach.
I sent a notice that our next clean up day will be May 9th. The date has been postponed to June 13th. There is be no breakfast. Work locations and assembly time to be announced closer to the date.
The center has received several donations of large pieces of equipment and supplies. Attached are photos of some of the donations. I will also post them on the Independence Is Alive and Well Facebook page in case you have trouble opening them in this email.

Pastor Brian Carline will give brief talk Friday May 1st, at the Unity Center, at 7:00pm, on inspiring and motivating insights and revelations he received from the Lord during the Kenya trip Team Jesus made in February. A tour of the building to see the progress will take place after the talk. Contact me, Muriel Luedeman if you want to attend. There are 8 openings. Please wear masks and gloves. Also, I have asked Brian and Brother G.G. Pearl to video tape the session so all interested friends may view it on line.
These are challenging days, causing great uncertainty and fear. They are also days of great and marvelous blessings from God, to calm anxious hearts and help make us know of His presence, love, compassion, and provision. Please be encouraged by these developments at the Unity Center and boldly move forward as the Holy Spirit directs you to serve our neighbors and community.
LOVE NEVER FAILS. LOVE PREVAILS
