We looked forward to the time when all things would be in readiness for the work on the exterior-facing of the building. It brought joy to my heart when on May 1st, at 8 o’clock in the morning, I was privileged to lay the first brick. Forty days later, June 10th, Mother laid the last brick. That was truly a time of thanksgiving. The ministry and workmen together bowed their heads and Mother prayed, after which all joined in singing a well-loved song, “Reaping for the King.” We are thankful that the prayer Mother offered has been definitely answered, and for every brick laid, more than one soul has been won for the Lord.
