Today, at a specially called KFA (KenoshaFirst.com) business meeting, our congregation unanimously approved the purchase of a 4-plex across the street from Tremper High School for the use of Journey Ministry College dorm residences for our students.
The college began last year with 13 students and our goal is to double that this coming year. The need for dormitory style housing was high on our list of hopes and dreams. There are four units, each potentially housing four students in each.
Now we need to get in there and give it a little TLC -- replace some cabinets -- install some new flooring -- give it a fresh coat of paint and a little 'love.'
We're still looking for some nice furniture -- bunk beds -- washer/dryer (electric) -- anything that makes a 'house' a 'home' for our students. Look out for an open house in a few weeks to stop in and see the make-over -- and maybe bring a bag of groceries to stock the cabinets so the students have something to eat. Stay tuned for that.
We are excited about this purchase and are thankful for a body of believers at KFA who get the vision and are willing to go out on a limb in order to embrace it.
And be blessed.

We have a table, 4 chairs, and a tv stand if the 4-plex can use them. The table is nothing special, circular with fold down sides, room for 4. One of the chairs has seen better days. The TV stand looks good, mid range color tone. Let me know, and I can drop them off sometime soon.
