God's Provision in the Basement

The speaker stands in the newly renovated boiler room in the basement of the ministry's building in Midtown Manhattan, marveling at God's provision. A couple of years earlier the leaking, rusting boiler needed replacement, but without the funds the ministry limped it through a winter season while trusting the Lord to provide. The Lord has now fully paid for a brand new boiler, its installation, and the city-required code upgrades, including ceiling repairs, a new fresh air duct, fresh primer, and new lighting, and both the room and boiler have passed inspection. The building, begun in 1873 and completed and dedicated in 1907, still stands in a strategic location where believers from around the country minister the gospel in the chapels and in the public arena. The speaker counts it a privilege and joy to maintain this space for Christians of different backgrounds and denominations laboring together for the gospel of God.
