Blessed by your financial and prayerful support, we have moved into our new home!  You have been a part of this journey from the beginning, and we want to celebrate God’s goodness together, with you.

We are thrilled to invite you to the Grand Opening Celebration of the new home of Focus on the Family Canada.  Please join us on Saturday, June 18, 2011, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 19946 80A Ave. in Langley, BC. 

It will be a day of activity: office building tours, meeting Focus radio hosts, bouncy castles and activities for kids, special offers in our bookstore and much more! 

Click here for more information on the Grand Opening Celebration.  We look forward to seeing you there!

We are all moved in and are very excited to be here!  We are feeling spread out as the square footage has been increased by 30%, leaving lots of room for growth.  We have experienced some challenges along the way, as often come in any big move.  We hope to have most of these things worked out this week. 

We still have trades working around us as they are adding the finishing touches.

Here are some photos now that we’re all moved in. Enjoy and thanks for enjoying this journey with me! I will post another update out as our Distribution Centre joins us here mid February.

An organization we are blessed to be a part of!

What you will see when you walk into the building!  Reception and Bookstore area

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!! 

This morning during our time of prayer, Terence reminded us that this is our last week in our current office. Wow, it is hard to believe that we are really moving. We have been talking and praying about this for many years and it is finally happening!  I feel very excited and optimistic about the next year and I know God will do amazing things through our new head office.

Last Friday we passed our elevator inspection which was very timely as our furniture has just arrived.  It will take five days to assemble and install all the workstations, desks, shelving, and cubicles. There are still many trades working on the site and getting all the last minute work done so pray for their continued protection.

This is the central area right outside my office where the workstations will be installed in the next few days. The office in the far left of the photo belongs to president, Terence Rolston.  It looks very bleak and deserted right now but soon that’s going to change.

If you were to walk around the corner from my office towards the west side of the building this is what you would see.

This is what our staff lunchroom now looks like, a far cry from the photo I showed you two weeks ago.

The following photo shows the first tiles being laid in the main stairwell on the second floor.  As of today, he has only one flight of stairs left. 

On Wednesday we have our final occupancy permit meeting with the building inspector.  He will inspect the building physically and if all goes well we will get approval on Friday.  We would seriously value your prayers for this approval as without it we cannot move in next week.

Have a great week my friends!

Hi again. As promised, here is part two of the building photos.  Let’s take a look at the inside:

This photo is taken on the second floor right by my office. It looks like it’s a long way from being finished but all it needs is a major clean up.

This is the staff lunchroom where we love to have much fellowship over food. We also will be meeting here every morning as a staff to pray for the many prayer requests we receive every day (we prayed for 16,000 last year).

Finally, this is our Distribution Centre on the first floor. 

I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.

God bless!
