A Special Report from the Chief Executive – Kevin D. Hoy   The Challenge & Target of Completing the Tileagd Community Complex
August 5th 2005 seems a long time ago now, but that was the day we first broke ground at the very beginning of the Community Complex construction. Now, we are moving into the final stages of finishing the entire complex which is scheduled to open June 7th, 2008 and the excitement (and pressure) is building for sure!
This was a project that many, if not most, thought impossible. The Dream was huge and far beyond anything the Charity had ever considered before, let alone undertaken. We were already committed to building the facilities at Mirlou, Cihei and Gepiu which between them was £250,000/$500,000 of construction investment. Now the complex was to add a further £750,000 / $1.5million to our construction budget.
Over the past 3 years, the Emergency Housing Unit at Mirlou, the Children’s Centre in Cihei and the Community project at Gepiu have all finished construction and had their ‘Open Days’ and have now been serving the people and children of Romania on a daily basis for some considerable time. During all of this, Tileagd Community Complex has been under construction. The size of the complex is huge:
8 classrooms for up to 250 children  Kindergarten facility for 25 children Shower and Toilet blocks School Kitchen and Dining room for 100 children  Administration offices, Staff Rooms and Store rooms Plus…In the final stages of Construction… The New Gymnasium for school and community use The Medical Block, comprising: GP consulting room, Treatment room & Pharmacy store 2 Dental Treatment rooms plus sterilisation room Optometry consulting room and Opticians workshop
The Complex also facilitates a number of offices for Social work, Church administration & Pastoral office. The Complex will culminate in the completion of the Tileagd Community Church – with capacity for 300+ worshippers. Watching the Complex grow has been like watching a baby develop. The Dream created many images of How it should look and the strictly structured code of construction told us what should happen next and what the results would be. But this was no ordinary project. One which God ordained over and above our knowledge of how He would fulfil the promise.
	In 2005, after 3 years of fund-raising, we had built the first school for 70 kids and seen that operate for 2 years. We had built the nursery for 40 kids and seen that operate for 12 months. On August 5th, 2005 we had £100,000/$200,000 in the bank to start this £750,000/$1.5million project which covered only construction, not the £150,000/$300,000 annual operating budget for the School, Kindergarten, Social/Medical and Church projects in Tileagd.
Watching a Miracle unfold before your eyes is an amazing experience and leaves you in awe of the awesome God we serve. His provision has been astonishing and people have got excited about building a School, constructing a Medical Centre and establishing a Church. So many, both adults and children, have donated money & fund-raised towards the Dream becoming a Reality. So far £602,255/$1.2million has been raised and we pray for the final needs to be raised by June. Our desire is to finish the construction of this project – debt free.
