At the moment, our lot isn't just inconvenient, it's also unsafe, with issues like puddles, potholes, blind corners, and unclear pathways. Our upcoming redesign aims to enhance safety by introducing effective drainage, laying fresh asphalt, and establishing well-defined sidewalks. 

At present, our lower level is inaccessible to wheelchairs. Although we have a ramp leading to our main auditorium, it doesn't meet the required standards. Upon completion of our renovation project, we will feature a new ramp at the building's entrance and another subterranean ramp providing access to the lower level.

Our current parking setup leaves much to be desired, with unmarked spots leading to haphazard parking. It's essential for us to optimize the space. With a revamped traffic flow in front of the building and a redesigned parking layout, we aim to enhance the efficiency and ease of parking.

While the removal of trees has been an unfortunate part of the property project, we're committed to replenishing our green canopy. We've teamed up with Team Trees to finance the planting of 1,000 new trees. Along with that, in collaboration with the Babylon Beautification Society, we're investing in planting trees right here in Babylon Village.

The project is going to cost about a million dollars. Amazingly, we've already seen God provide in some incredible ways:

• All the architecture work done over the last two years has been generously donated to the church. 
• Half of the cost of the project has already been covered by the generosity of one family. 
• We've received a loan to cover the rest through an organization called Christian Financial Resources.

And so the great news is that we have the funds to pull off the project. Our next challenge is tackling this debt. Our goal is to raise at least $100k by the end of the summer, and then to prioritize chipping away at the remaining amount.
