We are happy to report that the excavation of the site is now complete and that there were no unexpected surprises during this phase of the building process. It has been exciting to see all the progress that has been made over the last few weeks! The form work for the walls of the parkade level has been prepared and recently, we began pouring the concrete. As we begin to lay the foundation, we can’t help but give thanks to God for His faithfulness. Please check back soon for more updates.

We are excited to announce that dirt is moving at the site for the new office building for Focus Canada. 250 loads of dirt were removed from the site last week and another 500 track loads are to go this week, with concrete form work scheduled to begin next week. After months of planning and organizing, it’s encouraging to visually see the work begin. Thank you for being a part of this journey. It’s only just begun! Please continue to visit the website and keep in touch.

Over $500,00 raised! We have recently hit the halfway mark to meeting our one million dollar goal. We can’t thank you enough for your participation in this renewed vision and for partnering with us. We are encouraged as we think ahead to the ministry that will take place at the new building, and all the Canadian families that will be helped and given hope.
As we start to look towards the new year, we pray for the second half of the matching grant to be met, which will bring us closer to moving into the building debt free come September.

On Friday, December 4 we held a ground breaking ceremony for the new building for Focus Canada. It was truly a day of celebration! Board members, contractors, staff and spouses gathered to recall the amazing journey God has led us on. The day was marked with clear skies and beautiful views of the mountains – God’s promises all around us.
As we all said a prayer of thanksgiving together, the site and building were dedicated to God. Ground was broken and thoughts were shared from various staff and board members. We are so thankful for all that the Lord has blessed us with! And we are thankful for you as well, for partnering with us.
Please check back soon for pictures of the ceremony.

A few weeks ago we heard from a dear woman who lives in a modest farm house in Alberta. She told us that she had heard about Building Families, Building Hope on the radio broadcast and was reminded about some money she had been saving for years. She felt strongly that the Holy Spirit had impressed upon her the need to give this money to help with the new building for Focus on the Family Canada.
When we met with her, she not only gave us the amount promised but tripled her gift towards the building project!
We are grateful for such an outpouring of generosity and also feel that this is wonderful confirmation from the Lord that we are on the right track with this project. We pray that you are as encouraged by this story as we are.

Recently, bidding has come to a close. We are still making final adjustments to the second floor interior of the building and will have that space re-bid as soon as possible.
These next two weeks are very important. Decisions are being made about whether to break ground now or wait until the rainy season is behind us.
Please pray with us as we wait for news on these two important issues. Thank you!

We are currently at $277,844 - which is over 25% of the way there! We are very blessed and encouraged by all those who have chosen to come alongside us in this new vision for families in Canada. We hope this encouragement reaches your heart too!! Thank you so much for partnering with us.
Don’t forget that every dollar given now will be matched until we reach that one million dollar mark. Let’s see the entire thermometer turn to orange!

As we mentioned in a post at the end of August, there are various companies bidding on different aspects of the building project. The proposals were originally due to come back at the end of September; however, we have chosen to extend the bidding to allow for changes to the interior.
The re-working of the interior will better accommodate the vision and direction of Focus Canada. Although this does mean there will be a delay to the start of construction, we should be able to limit potential cost increases by taking the time now to make any needed changes.
Please continue to pray with us as the bids come to a close on October 20.
