242 DAYS TO STRUCTURE COMPLETION

After meeting with the architects and builders on 15 April 2015, an estimated completion date for the dome roof has been earmarked as 15 December 2015. This exciting development now means that together we can have a countdown and timeline in which we can see the hand of God move towards seeing this phase of the project complete!
