The Throne Zone ~ Part 2



Tom Smith, our architect with CDH Partners, returned on Monday and Tuesday to continue to revise and refine our master plan. Gordon Parker and Joe Fay from Rinderknecht Associates sat in on the meetings in order to get a better understanding our project. You can click on the picture above to see a short slide show.

We are starting to wrap up the master planning process but a lot of very important decisions remain. Terry Biglow from CDH Partners also traveled to Cedar Rapids with Tom Smith. Terry spent all day Monday talking to consultants and the City of Robins engineers to try and get a handle on traffic and utility issues.

The Relocation Team met later Monday evening to debrief. We are working on several issues simultaneously that can impact the size, scope and cost of the first phase of our relocation project.

Here are some issues that need specific prayer:
  • The master planning process and wisdom regarding how to phase the project
  • Attendance and cash flow projections
  • Cost estimating regarding the building cost and value engineering decisions
  • Site development issues such as sewer, water, natural gas, electricity, and traffic flow

We are right in the middle of the "throne zone," the place where we have to trust God. This is a God-sized project and we need God-sized answers to prayer. We need His wisdom, His provision and His empowerment. This is His project, for His people, for His glory.
