I am asking for prayer to create the Dighton Kansas Cultural Arts
Center dedicated to Christianity and the Arts. I must raise funds
to buy an old church in Dighton which was donated to the city by a
failing congragation. It is an historic old Lutherine church. I
have asked the city to donate it for use as a cultural arts center
and coffee house for teens. It would house a childrens theater,
dance, arts celebrations, concerts and be available for weddings.
The city has agreed to sell the building with renovations if I will
pay the cost of renovations as a sale price.
Building and land appraised at $36,000
Renovations $32,000
Total price for the arts center - $32,500
In short - the building for free and the city will float the cost
of renovations meeting all code for handicap and preserving
historical significance of the building. Repairs include - new
heating and air, electrical upgrade of all wiring and recepticles,
additional bathroom which is handicap accessable, additional
parking with exit and entry. Please pray that God would provide
donors so that we can move forward.
