RVMAPS Project, Victory Assembly of God, Vacherie, LA



Pastor Colby, Electrician Ron and Project Manager Al. 

What a difference one week makes....


The front of the church where a driver plowed through the building is finished.

From this.....


 

To this......

 

New support steel beam, new siding, new portico and brick.  Not to mention
the new walls on the inside and floor. 

Not only was the damage repaired, but the whole church is getting a "facelift". 

 

Ceiling tiles and new lights

 

 

 
Glenn finishing up with ceiling tiles and insulation. 

 
Painting is almost complete. 

 

Electrical is almost complete.

 

Love the new lighting.

 

The entry offset feature wall.

 

 

 

There are two feature wall insets in the entrance.  It really adds interest. We all love it. 

 

The platform also has the wood.  We think it looks really nice against the new carpet. 

 

 
Carpet squares are glued. 


 The people of this church has really taken good care of us. One day the ladies had
 beignets for us. 

 

Sugery good!

Victory Assembly of God, Vacherie, LA

Here are pictures of our second week on the MAPS project. The repair and remodel is progressing very well.

 

 

This is the front where the driver plowed through the building. Isn't it just like The Lord to provide a MAPS bricklayer volunteer just when we need one.

Throughout this past week we have had good lunches and dinners provided. 


Note the five Instant Pot liners on the table. They came in real handy warming up some delicious food. 

Bill's sons fried up some delicious fish one evening. 
 


And some men from the church cooked some wonderful Jambalaya.
