Here we go... after 10+ years of ywam perth being located in one building, we are up and moving. We have been in the process of building a brand new building for the past year and it is now time to start to count down... T minus 44 days and we will have transitioned out of the old "base" or building and hopefully straight over into the new building (if it is done and approved by the city counsel on time). If not we may be getting a bit creative on where we hold classes for a few weeks!
Some of the great things about being in our new base will be 1. It will be our own. We will own it! No more renting! 2. We will have double the capacity than we did in our old building. We are doubling our classroom numbers from the 7 classrooms that we had to 14 classrooms! 3. We will have our own cafe in the building! (can anyone say cappuccino! Yes please! ) 4. The building faces the downtown city of perth. Almost like a lighthouse to the city. We are being used just as much in this city as we are in the nations! Praise the Lord! 5. Well it will be a beautiful building... =)
We have professional builders working on our new property but we also have two other properties behind the new base that we are renovating. So hard working ywamers, like myself, have been spending countless hours tearing down, and building back up again. (Just thought I would clarify - I just joined the building teams, so I haven't done any tearing or building of any kind yet! haha)
Starting tomorrow though, I will officially be on a building team. We are going into crunch mode, trying to get all our properties done by our deadline. So every free staff member not staffing a school is being put on property teams to help sand, paint, tile, grout, dry wall, and so much more! So I have taken a safety test and been given an official "white card" saying that I am aware of safety on a construction site (you can't work in the buildings without it) and tomorrow I will go buy my official first pair of steel toed boots! I mean I love shoes and I have bought lots in my life, but never a pair of steel toes before! I will be sure and post a pic as soon as I start styling these boots!
I am super stoked to get to work! I love hands on stuff and the opportunity to be apart of such an epic move in the history of ywam perth is exciting! God has spoken dreams, and I am apart of seeing them come to pass! The opportunity to serve people from the nations, the city of perth, and go out into nations from this new building will be monumental!
So here are a few pictures from the last few months! Enjoy...
You are blessed to be a blessing.
Spring time is here and the trees are blooming!
