To every Future Is Now partner,
This is my fifth update since we broke ground on December 8th. And I want to start where I always do with gratitude.
Thank you for your faith. Thank you for your flexibility. Thank you for giving when it was still just a vision, and for continuing to give while that vision becomes walls, rooms, and steel.
What you sowed into is no longer conceptual. It is physical. And this month, I want to give you the clearest picture yet of exactly where we stand.
Here is some news I am glad to deliver: we are still at 4401 N. Highway 161 through the entire month of June.
The buyer has graciously agreed to a leaseback arrangement, which gives us more runway than originally planned. Sundays and Wednesdays, same place, same schedule. We are moving forward month by month with September as our target move-in. We will keep you informed every step of the way.
The biggest structural milestone of this entire project happened this month. And it happened because of you.
A massive structural truss and beam has been installed in the worship center. Cranes had to lift steel into position after sections of the roof were removed and reinforced to carry the load. That is not routine work that is the backbone of the space going in.
Every one of those lines represents real work. Real progress. Real generosity turned into real walls.
You are partners. You deserve the full picture.

Commitments don’t build buildings. Dollars do. The gap between what has been committed and what has been given is where your continued faithfulness lives. Keep your giving consistent. Keep your yes active.
If you have a commitment honor it. Stay consistent. And if you are a partner who has not yet formalized a TFIN commitment, I am asking you personally to pray about it. We are in a two-year journey and every person matters. Do not sit this one out.
And do not forget the construction livestream is live in your Partner Portal, Monday through Friday, 6 AM to 6 PM. Watch what your generosity is building in real time.
We are not waiting on the future anymore.
We are building it. Together.
The Future Is Now.
