Elijah and I have been keeping busy in building a pulpit for a new church plant here in Debrecen. It’s been fun for us, so I thought I would share the pictures.

I want to preface this by saying that I’m not much of a builder. I made plenty of mistakes with this, BUT I ended up with all my fingers and something that looks like a pulpit, so that’s a win for me!

I did learn a lot from this, and I hope Elijah did too. If I ever get to build another pulpit it should go faster and end up nicer next time. (Click on pics to enlarge)

Getting started!
