building

The Rock is trying to purchase a building that we can use for a meeting place for our friday night services and for a community center.... a place where students can come to do homework, hang out, or just get out their house/away from campus. It is really cool to think about all the different ways the building can be used. The process of getting the building is an adventure in and of itself. We will need a minimum of $71,000 for a downpayment and have made a goal to get $100,000 for the downpayment. It is remarkable to think of a handful of college students and recent college grads, all in debt trying to get by, purchasing a building listed at $450,000. But I guess nothing is too big for God. We are a few months into this and have come to an agreement with the seller. We already have raised a good amount of the money too. Our plan is to raise $50k from students in the Rock and $50k from 5 major donors, donating $10k each. The latest update shows that we have raised about $47k in pledges from within the Rock and we have 3 major donors. More details about where we are at can be found at here. All this happening in just a few months is nothing short of God working. For more details on the building and our vision for it can be found at www.z37.org.
