"Do not move your neighbor's boundary stone set up by your predecessors in the inheritance you receive in the land the LORD your

God is giving you to possess."Deuteronomy 19:14

Surveying

Goal is to design buildings that are a step or two more:

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?"

Luke 14:28

Building Design

- Functional - better use of space

- Safe - redundant, resist earthquakes and wind

- Cost-effective - better use of materials than typical buildings, while still being culturally appropriate and sustainable

2 or 3 buildings designed during a typical project trip

- Show how buildings, roads, infrastructure and recreation can best fit on the site

- Show how site can be developed over years

- Focus on Phase 1, later phases may change with the scope of a ministry

- Take time to understand the vision God has given the ministry

"All this I have in writing from the hand of the LORD upon me, and he gave me understanding in all the details of the plan."

I Chronicles 28:19

Master Planning

Infrastructure

Sometimes overlooked, but vitally important:

- Water systems

- Wastewater disposal systems

- Electrical systems

- Dams, bridges and roads

- Agriculture and irrigation

Challenge is to keep it simple - so it can be maintained and repaired

"Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement."

Deuteronomy 23:12-13

St. Luke’s Society AIDS Clinic

Kampala, Uganda

PROBLEM: A ministry assisting people with various health issues including AIDS was operating out of a half-size shipping container and metal shack.

SOLUTION: EMI designed a simple building with a few offices, treatment room, training room, lab, and bathrooms. The waiting room is a large, covered porch. While protected from the rain and sun, the open area catches the pleasant afternoon breezes.

Case Study

St. Luke’s Society AIDS Clinic

Kampala, Uganda

RESULTS: A new 2,000 square foot clinic building allows the ministry to treat more patients and share Christ with them. The clinic director, Rebecca told EMI how much the new clinic improved their ministry. She could hardly contain herself due to the great joy in her heart:

“It’s wonderful! We will finally have a place to train our workers, a place to immunize children, and a place to help people with all of their health needs.”

- Rebecca, clinic director

Case Study

- Better facilities for the poor

- Improved sanitation/public health

- Expanded outreach for the gospel

- Volunteers' and interns' lives are changed though service to the world's poor

"There are not sufficient words. Not only do we have this wonderful document and brochure to present to donors, but we also have hope

and plans for the organization's future."

Beth Rosen - Bushikori Christian CenterUganda, April 2008
