We mentioned two months ago that when we built the Prayer Center and atrium in 2009, the city of Louisville let us get by temporarily without an elevator.

We also shared that, having watched for several winters as some of our more senior staff people try to negotiate the stairs, and our wheel-chair-using staff and visitors head out into the rain, snow and ice to roll around the long service road loop (just to get downstairs for a meeting), we finally have said enough is enough.

We floated the idea to several key partners and the Indian Creek Christian Church picked up the baton. They’ve created a matching gift fund that will literally double any gift (up to the first $15,000) given to this campaign.

Installing the elevator (a simple service lift — but an adequate solution none the less) will cost us just over $30,000 (maybe $32,000, actually, by the time we finish out the trim).

So here’s a great giving opportunity for July and August:
If you aren’t already giving to the work of Team Expansion, would you consider a generous gift to “Give a Lift (to Send the Word Around the World)” by covering the cost of getting our staff and trainees up and down to their classes and meetings. Their classes prepare them for reaching unreached peoples — and their meetings formulate strategies to change lives in over 40 countries around the world.

The Creek has made it extremely attractive (Thank you Indian Creek!). It’s easy to participate. Just click to www.TeamExpansion.org/donate to give online. Be sure to note in the comment line, “Lift.”

Or send a check to Team Expansion – Lift
4112 Old Routt Road
Louisville, KY 40299

We hope and pray to begin construction no later than September 1 (earlier if we reach the goal prior to that date). Thanks for any help you can lend to “Give a Lift (to Send the Word Around the World!)”

Note: To track the progress of this campaign, keep an eye on the campaign progress page at https://teamexpansion.org/lift/

Thanks again for your prayers!
