    SBC: A Vision Realized

    But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

    2 Corinthians 10:17

    We were privileged to spend our summer at Sinclair Baptist Church (SBC) in WY. We arrived on site ready for a fast-paced busy schedule. Several mission groups planned to help, all arriving at various times, so we were certainly grateful for 2 Pilgrims Ministries, Inc., acting as general contractors for the breezeway part of the summer tasks. We were also joined by Olathe View Baptist Church (OVBC), Freedom Baptist Church, AR (FBC), and Sink Bros, LLC (KS).

    SBC had two priorities for the summer. One was to build a breezeway that would end the 15-year wait to connect the main church with its Kid City counterpart.

    See how it all started!

    We were grateful that all remained safe as Karl and Scott worked with members of the church to place the heavy rafters on the new breezeway.

    FBC came alongside to dig and place new gas lines for the entryway heaters, hang sheet rock, mud/tape, finish the roof, and install lights. They also finished the intersection. Drop-down tiles were FINALLY installed to complete the old-time look! Praise the LORD!

    SBC: A Vision Ready

    Although much was completed on the new breezeway during our 8 weeks in Sinclair, Daniel and Ethan, owners of Sink Bros, LLC answered a last-minute request to put in and trim late-arriving windows and doors. Before the brothers arrived, however, an unknown crack in a drainpipe in the new breezeway broke and a torrent of water from an unprecedented amount of rainfall flooded the new addition. The flooding extended inside the intersection and could have caused a great deal of damage. Thankfully, since the doors had not yet been put in, most of the flood waters flowed outside.

    “But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord,” and we do! Daniel and Ethan were able to repair the broken pipes, put in and trim the windows and doors, hang ceiling fans, and put shiplap on the ceiling. Leftover shiplap was used for wainscot around the new walls. Wow! Just, wow!

    The other priority was to finish the Kid City renovations, including the restrooms, which started last year. Joe, of Black Brothers Building, led a group from OVBC to install tile flooring. Once this onerous task was done, FBC installed the rest of the toilets, urinals, and partitions. Mirrors were hung, doors installed and trimmed, electrical outlets moved, and a mop sink was plumbed! A wall was also moved, allowing access to the storage room framed last year and blocking access to an old garage. Church members are glad for the updated look, organization, and safety the renovations provide. All looks wonderful and new and ready for a coat of paint!
