Post 3

This post is coming to you from Rev Diana's office at All Saints Cathedral.

I will try and keep this update fairly brief. As far as work on the chapel is concerned there have been a lot of changes as the roof starts to take place. Most of the main beams are in place and should be finished by Wednesday. There have been quite a few issues to iron out with the roof regarding maintaining a suitable pitch to ensure the roof is water proof vs ensuring a good view of the walls. A few compromises have had to be made on both sides but I think we have pretty much reached a final soloution that the roofers and I are happy with. The roof is now two pitches with a skylight at the top to ensure enough light into the space and some ventilation. It will also add some drama to teh now tall inner space. I will try to post some more images later in the week. Furthermore we had the first delivery of benches for the chapel which look great, they are slightly curved to match the curved walls.

This week I was also able to visit my university friend Adam Rush at the project he is working with for 7 months. They are called 'Revelation Life' and are an organisation that works in the slum areas outside the city, building relationships and discipling the inhabitants. Their aim is to bring transformation to the areas through the gospel, and to seek ways to change improve the conditions of the areas themselves. A large undertaking as one slum contains 1 million inhabitants; but very encouraging to see the reall difference the work is having with 60 people being saved this past year.

Thankyou for your continued support
