Those were Rev. David's words when we arrived at the Christian Media Centre, and he was not kidding.
The main offices of the CMC are dark and covered with dust. Down the great hallway which runs the length of each floor, deep channels have been cut in the masonry walls to house the conduit for the new electric lines. For a month, workers have been pounding out these channels by hand in an effort to replace all of the original aluminum wiring that was placed in this building some 42 years ago. The halls echo with their pounding. Some of the CMC employees say that they hear it in their sleep. Once this electric work is done and the channels are patched, we can finish our work of painting and flooring.
There's still more work we can do in the meantime. Tiles on the upstairs bathroom need to be pulled from the walls so the bathrooms can be re-tiled. The exterior of the building is being cleaned so it can be repainted.
The roof of the main building needs to be cleared and scrubbed - though it is not in as bad of condition as the studio roof was last year.We'll keep you updated on our progress, and will continue to relay the experiences we have here.
We crave your prayers, comments, and feedback, so please keep them coming!
