Learning for LifeThe multi-purpose, 'Learning for Life Center' is currently under construction to facilitate the operation of a Daily Soup Kitchen, Life Skills Coaching Program, ESL Program, Micro Business Projects and an Apartment for the Life Center manager.  This building is located adjacent to the Container Storage Unit we sent over last fall.  Construction is well underway.  The upper apartment walls and roof should be completed in about 3 weeks.  Grace Church in Abbotsford donated $10,000.00 from their Thanksgiving offering toward this building.  Praise God, it is very close to the amount needed to complete the upper walls and roof.  The next step will be exterior and interior finish along with plumbing, electrical, heating etc.  Please pray for additional funds to complete this project.  See pictures and read more ...  
 

MARIUS & TABITA  REPORT / ROMANIA ... 
 
                                                      "Marius & TabitaToday, November 23, we will start the roof on the 'Learning for Life Center' (purchase the wood, tiles and organize the workers.)  Tomorrow and the next day we minister at two evangelistic crusades.  One in Pancota (county Arad) and other in Bocsa (county of Caras Severin).  The concert in Arad, where Tabita and Lavi along with the 'Ebenezer Gospel Group' from Ciacova will sing, is very large.  Please pray for us.   I will be the Master of Ceremonies." 
 
Love Marius & Tabita

Container Shipments ...
 
container craneEarlier in the year a 40' Shipping Container was donated to Tabita Ministries.   One of our proposed projects was to convert it into a living unit and ship it to Romania.  There is a real need for Emergency Shelter in some areas.  On further investigation into the practicality of this we realized there could be major problems getting the converted container through Romanian customs.  It would be more expedient to convert it in Romania.  A ministry located in the center of Romania, 'Extended Hands Ministries', was in need of a container so we passed it on to them.  The container was loaded and shipped from 'Global Emergency Mission Society' (GEMS) in Langley about 2 week ago.  We loaded items for 'Tabita Ministries' in this shipment and they will be delivered to Ciacova by 'Extended Hands Ministry'.  It is our intent to partner with this ministry in future shipments.  Thank you to all who contributed to this shipment.  Read More About Container Shipments...
