These architectural renderings show plans for a new building for Living Spring Church.
Have you ever pulled up to a restaurant or shopping center, only to drive immediately away for lack of space? This is a common experience on Sundays at Living Spring Church, ABIDE's partner church in Fort Portal, Uganda. After walking to church -- sometimes multiple miles -- to attend services, the church is often full, with overflow out the doors and into the field beyond. Living Spring is actively raising funds among it's people for a building project, and ABIDE is partnering to provide supplemental funds to help make this project a reality.
"It's a good problem to outgrow our church building, but we have been having issues when it's sunny, people don't come and we lose a lot of people," Living Spring's pastor said. "We have begun putting money aside, and we are encouraging people to give 2 cents, 3 cents. We would like to build a church building in a way we can keep expanding. ... We are hoping, God-willing, people are giving seed money."
The church has worked with a local architect for designs (renderings from which are pictured), and ABIDE is working to provide funding to lay a foundation for the building to allow Ugandan-raised funds to go to the next phase of costs.
