Boulwando - Special Needs

Special Needs

After meeting under a tree for about six months our members decided that a "hanger" would be more beneficial for our church. So a simple "hanger" was constructed upon some vacant land.

Our "building" for our church services in
November of 2003.

We set up a simple "floor plan" inside our "hanger" consisting of a concrete
pulpit and wooden benches with mats for the overflow of children.

Realizing the temporary nature of the "hanger," (the men of the village said that a "hanger" would be a temporary solution, as the rains will have a detrimental effect upon the wood), we still decided in the best interest of these new converts that a temporary home would be much better than a tree.

Our prior knowledge did not completely prepare us for the "hanger's" fall in early June of 2004.


Our surprise, in spite of the reality of our prior knowledge.	The rains broke the wooden poles holding up the latch roof.


We have been forced to return to our "tree."	Services on June 27, 2004 under our new meeting place.

The elders of the village have donated some land to our church. They allowed us to pick any location in the village as our church home. We picked a prime location between the two main
roads running through the village.


This is the elder that had given us some of his land.	A view of our property looking out from the middle of it.

Our need is for about $10,000 USD to construct a modest church building with a small parsonage on land that the village had donated to the Fundamental Baptist Church of Boulwando.
