Constructed on the MICAH site is a yurt.  Yurts come from Mongolia and are strong, light, and the round shape is very pleasing.

Construction of the Yurt Building

Yurts originally come from Mongolia, a place with harsh winters and lots of wind but no lumber for rigid structures. They are strong, light, and the round shape is very pleasing. Ray, from our local radio station, claimed that yurt was Norwegian for 'deer stand'.

Blessing of the MICAH Land

Summer 2004 kicked off with a celebration and blessing of the MICAH land in June. We gathered on the site for tours, picnic, and fellowship. Our attention then turned to worship and consecration of the site. It was a beautiful celebration of what God is doing through the vision of MICAH.
