"We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Jeff. Without him, we may never have completed our building project. Obviously, Jeff's technical and professional expertise was critical to our success, lending the experience of one who has gone through the process multiple times. More importantly, however, was his abiding love of Christ that helped focus our discussions on the ultimate purpose for our building, to glory and honor our Lord by bringing more souls into the Kingdom. Jeff was God's timely messenger to Wesley and we are grateful."
