B) Technical Status:
Let us take stock of Phase 2 of the ACP project briefly. In 2016, we mobilised initial funding to kick-start this phase and re-engaged Consultancy services for updating project documentation and subsequent supervision of Works. In 2017, the Contractor was procured and the Sanctuary super structure Works at site resumed up to structural formation of the first gallery. 2018 was a year of great favour from our Lord God regarding ACP project. Glory to God that the two galleries were completed while the Bell (and Prayer) Tower reached the top 12th level as planned and Roofing works progressed well. The lower roof structure was done while 60% of central section roof trusses were hoisted along 2018.
The heavy duty steel roof trusses being fixed are quite heavy for structural design integrity purposes that the process of hoisting them has been much slower than anticipated. In 2019, hoisting of the remaining high roof sections and delivery of roofing tiles to site are on-going. We target to complete the entire roof structure and covering with clay tiles during the first quarter 2019. We further pray that the new Cathedral Sanctuary will also be closed and finishes started along 2019.
Thanks go to all the regular givers to ACP through: Ongoing Tegula Gideon commitments, Fellowship and group contributions, individual and family giving, regular Sunday collecions, one-off giving, Diaspora giving, buying of ACP branded Souvenirs – this contributes some funds but more so strengthens our identity. We encourage you to continue to: Pray, Participate, Provide and [mobilise] Partners for this great work of the Lord.
