Season 20 is drawing to a close shortly. Soon it will be time to start the Season 21 build. One of the challenges of The Project is not so much the building. But finding locations to share my talent with others. I've talked about this issue before on The Lego Church Project FB page. The main roadblock to finding displays is because I don't drive. I also don't always have easy access to transportation. It means that any location who would like to host me and The Project would have to help provide transportation. The main reason why I want to take the project out to as many locations is because God has given me this amazing talent. I am able to share my passion for the faith in an amazing and creative way. This is something that is meant to be shared with others and not kept hidden from view. My goal for the coming season is to take the project to about seven locations though out the year.
In order for this to happen I need your prayers and your help. The best displays are set up with the help of contact people who can help work out details for a display. It helps assure that no matter where I go that I am truly meant to be at that location. If those transportation details are able to be worked out I am willing to go where ever God is willing to send me. Due to the challenges I can't really go out and "cold call" locations. I pretty much need an open invitation from a place. At the end of this post I have links that go into more details about the displays and what I would need to make a display happen.
If you have any questions or know of a location that might be interested in hosting. Have them contact me: kc8wzm@gmail.com.

A lot has happened in twenty years. Events unfold and shape our lives
with every passing season. When I took what was a child's dream and put
it into God's hands. I honestly had no idea where this was going to go.
From the first galleries on Brickshelf, to Google Photos, and currently
on FB. Back when I was doing only one or two displays a season. I still
recall the days when I use to call each building "LCP" and the number.
LCP of course meaning Lego Church Project. I think started
it around Season 9 because I thought LCP10 didn't sound right to me.
But though it all the goals have always remained the heart of what I do.
As I've often said the building is only part of the story.
The primary goal with my work has always been about disability
awareness. Even before that term has become more common in use. That
basic idea that even if you have a challenge or other disability that
God can still use your talents. In my case it is a mild form of Cerebral
Palsy. That alone causes a host of neurological and mobility issues. I
also deal with a severe form of tinnitus. With that comes related
moderate hearing loss. Due to my disability I am unable to work. Yet God
uses me in a creative way. I show people that your challenges don't
define who you are. Though my artwork I am able to put into a tangible
form, my own passion, that I have for the faith. I do this by sharing
with people the story of parish life. How our parishes and our
communities are the foundation for who we are as Catholics. That we
should always take the time to make sure that we do take part in the
Mass. It is my personal prayer that people see my work and they find
hope in their own lives. Even when it seems like things are not going
all that well either in our lives or with the issues going in on our
faith.
A lot has happened in twenty years. Here I am a humble guy who is trying to build the faith one brick at a time. -JM
