Preacher's House

When I go to Zimbabwe next month one of the things our team is going to do is work on a house for the preacher at a new church plant. I just recieved a list of some of the things we need to raise money for in order to build this house. I am posting part of the list and asking if you would like to contribute you can send a check made out to "Northwest Ave. Church of Christ." Send it to Northwest, c/o Scott Baker, 737 Northwest Ave., Tallmadge, Ohio, 44278. When you send the check, make sure you mark what it is you want to purchase for the house. The total cost to build a house in Zimbabwe is . . . are you ready for this? . . . anywhere from $5122 to $6422, depending on the type of roofing.

Here is part of the list of the items needed which will be purchased in Zimbabwe:

68 50lb. cement bags @ $10 a bag
30 litres of exterior undercoat @ $3 a litre
40 litres of exterior paint finish @ $3 a litre
40 litres of interior undercoat @ $3 a litre
60 litres of interior paint @ $3 a litre
10 litres of Roof & Stoep black @ $3 a litre
3 windows @ $55 a window
3 windows @ $65 a window
2 windows @ $75 a window
2 door frames @ $90 each
3 door frames @ $45 each
3 flash doors @ $25 each
1 stable door @ $55
1 hardwood door @ $50
2 B.I.C. doors @ $20 each
1 Wash hand basin @ $110
1 single stainless steel sink @ $65
10 rafters @ $20 each
3 Wall plates @ $20 each
10 brandering @ $5 each

And by the way, it is going to take 15000 farm bricks that the villagers are going to mould.

If you can help please try to get it in by Oct. 4
