So Proud

Since 2000, Mike has poured his heart into the new student center. Many of you have been involved in the process from a distance so I thought I would post some recent pictures.


Picture 2: You can see the mezzanine in the distance. The mezzanine houses the gaming room with couches, a Nintendo Wii, and other gaming equipment that I'm too old to know anything about. You can also faintly see the light of the kitchen on the other side of the gym.


Picture 3: On the left side, there are pool tables, ping pong tables, etc. The unfinished stage is in the distance.



I am so proud of my husband. Not only did he raise the money for this 1.1 million dollar facility, but he used the money wisely and gave this community more than I think many people ever thought possible. Of course, he would be the first to tell you that God made it happen. And while that's very true, I also believe that Mike's vision and business sense were instrumental in the process.

We've already enjoyed letting Jonah run wild at "Daddy's work" on cold Sunday afternoons. He puts on his Lightning McQueen helmet and pads, and we have a little daredevil in the skatepark!

Wow...I didn't know there were that many kids in Alma!

Seriously though, congrats on the big accomplishment.

Yea, Mike! We can't wait to see the finished product next time we visit--it looks incredible!

Love you all,

It is truly amazing what God can do. This project took several years to come into fruition. Mike and many others were dedicated and faithful to believe that God would make this amazing facility possible. Thank God that Mike acted on what he knew God was leading him to help build and that he did not give up and lose heart in the long process. It will be exciting to see what God has in store for this beautiful building!

Praise the Lord and congratulations to Mike and Tracy too for her encouragement and support through the process. God will use that facility to bring kids to Jesus!!
