The building is progressing nicely, with the newest work being done on the roofing supports for the main building.

The east missionary apartment is nearing completion with the tile being laid and the finishing touches being done on the walls and the kitchen.

This picture shows one of the workers finishing the airblock on the kitchen that is attached to the main dining hall.

This picture shows the conference room which will hold meetings of the WBI staff and the DBA in the future. This room had a dirt floor just one week earlier, showing the great gains that the contractor and his team are making each week.

These workers are laying the tile on the front hallway on the second floor of the school building.

This picture shows the chapel area that is being prepared for tile and is the staging area for working on the steel for the upper floors.

On the day of this update, several of our pastors traveled with us to view the new building. Here you are seeing Pastor Banyon of the Siem Reap church, one of our Bible School students Som On, and Pastor Piseth of the Ta Mien Church in Kampong Cham.
