y family and I were recently able to share in the excitement of a Friend Day celebration service at New Life Baptist Church of Lake in the Hills, IL. It was an exciting time for the church. They had just finished a renovation project of their facility. One member told me they were adding the final touches just the night before the service was held. Months before this service I called and notified Pastor Wood that the BBC administrators had approved New Life’s application for a grant. He was grateful for the news. He told me of some problems they had encountered. He said the congregation was weary. The news that they had received the grant would give them the renewed strength that God knew they all needed.

Baptist Builders Club is glad to have been able to help New Life purchase some items to enhance the ministry God has given them. One of their purchases was coordinating chairs for the auditorium. Pastor Wood said, “It [the chairs] really gives a whole new

feel to the auditorium; it looks more like a church setting instead of a warehouse.” He continued, “It [the grant] was a wonderful boost to our people, and they are still talking about what a blessing it was.”
Old Auditorium
The other portion of the grant was used to upgrade their sound system. The remaining funds will be used to buy a portable baptistry. Now New Life Baptist Church will actually be able to hold a baptismal service at their own facility. Praise the Lord! It is amazing to see a church transform and to see what God can do in lives through the church. We truly believe that and are praying for 2008 to be a year full of victories for God through the ministry of BBC. Thanks for your continued support. In His service together, Michael Nolan, Director, & Kristen Nolan
