3. New Church Building Construction Update
During the summer of 2011 the work to build the new sanctuary for the church
continued concurently with the effort to incorporate the church according to
Romanian laws.
Glory to God for providing what was needed to purchase construction materials
and with qualified workers and volunteers to work on the Church Building. Real
progess has been made and is now clearly visible.

Ion Peana is the administrator for ALEVRO Inc. and the person responsible for all
Alevro undertakings. He worked as volunteer this past summer on the church
premises, supervising, organizing and contributing manual labor as needed.
As in previous years, we saved money on labor costs and any related expenses for
most of the construction operations except for licensed professionals such as
plumbers and electricians. Many faithful brothers and sisters worked as volunteers
and donated their free time, especially their Saturdays. We benefited from the help
of experienced, retired construction professionals and were even fortunate enough
to be granted the use of various construction tools, such as scaffoldig, at no cost to
us.
All expenses for the construction project, documentation, and such related fees
have been paid by Peana family. All taxes, utilities, the cost of construction
materials and all work completed as of now, have been paid by donations.
The new church is debt free.
With God’s help, we want to start the next phase in the spring of 2012 in order to
finish the main sanctuary. Our goals are
1. The demolition of the remaining old house. Some old walls from the house
are still in the way of finishing the main sanctuary.
2. Finish the interior of the sanctuary –
o Drywall installation, isolation, drop ceilling, painting
o Floor
o Light fixtures
