00:00Hi, my name is Roger Maynard, I'm the Senior Pastor of the New Testament Church of God
00:18at Willanall Tabernacle and we just want to sort of show the community the building that
00:24we have purchased here, the old Chamberlain building that the church has purchased and
00:28we have a number of different things that we want to do in this building so we just
00:32want the community to know that we're here to help the community and basically all the
00:37things that we want to be doing with it. At the front of the building as you can see there's
00:40two segments to the building, at the front of the building then we're going to have five
00:45beds it's upstairs, six beds it's downstairs and at the back of the building as we walk
00:50down towards the back of the building what we're going to be doing at the back we're
00:54going to be using at the back for a lot of our community projects such as our mother and toddlers
00:59group, we're also going to be having our food bank here and we have a lot of other different
01:05things that we want to be doing in the back of the building. We're also going to be building
01:10a second floor on the back of the building, carry on mate, yeah it'll be like a community space
01:16upstairs for small weddings and christenings and things like that so we just want to set
01:21the record straight in terms of what we're doing in this building. We're a community church, we're
01:25here to help the community, we're here to help the homeless and people who have difficulties in
01:29finding somewhere to live and this place will be not only accommodation for them but also lots of
01:35different community things going on at the back of the building also so yeah so basically that's
01:40what we're actually doing with the premises that we've purchased. We're hoping that the building
01:45will be opened by the end sometime at the end of this year, hoping to start work in the spring
01:50so we're also looking for partners so if there are businesses out there who would like to partner
01:55with us in seeing this become a reality and a community concern then please do get in contact
02:00with us at the church. Thank you very much.
