towers to symbolize the two lampstands.

For the construction of the first annex building, I tried to make a three-story building - the first and second floors for our convenience and the third for worshiping God. The fourth floor was not permitted at that time in this area because it was a military protected area, but God instructed me to build a four-story building. After much meandering, I constructed it as God showed. Without God’s help, I couldn’t have done it.

God instructed me to put the cross on the front side of the temple, where the bell tower is located, along with the shape of seven angels with trumpet and then the two branches of an Olive Tree on each side of the cross.

After that, we began to arrange the area step by step. The area also contained the farmland of a few people. I couldn’t have bought the whole area without the help from God. God enabled the circumstances under which the owners had to sell their land.

When I built the first annex building, some of the area was someone’s property. The owner did not want to sell his land. I could not start the construction without buying the land. But then the owner found himself in an urgent situation and had to sell the area for the exact amount of money
