There were no answers, so I'll try one more time. The members of our church in Virginia (Charismatic, born-again believers) are currently renting space, and preparing to construct our own building. Our building plan budget requires us to raise extra money or lower costs somehow. One alternative we're looking at is to hire a project manager that has experience with churches, can creatively reduce the cost of construction (for example, by offering tax writeoffs), can coordinate substantial volunteer efforts, and can coordinate contruction activities, all at a reasonable cost. We know of a Mennonite from Ohio who would arrive with his trailer at the construction site and stay for a few months until the job is well underway. The problem is that he quite likely may be unavailable during the time we have scheduled. Does anyone know of other persons or organizations that do this kind of thing? Please post replies to this list or, preferably, e-mail responses to "op@virginia.edu" or "op@virginia.edu.bitnet". Thank you in advance for any substantial leads. Olaf Pors
