FORT WAYNE, IN (Indiana's NewsCenter) - While a slow economy has slowed or stopped some construction projects recently, that is not the case in Decatur.
A few hundred workers have converged on the town to build a church in 24 hours.
The United Pentecostal Church's Home Missions Department has built nearly 100 churches around the country and this is the 5th in Indiana. The Decatur church purchased the materials for around $80,000 and all the labor is donated.
Pastor Bruce Bush said it would have cost his church over four times that amount and 4 months to construct the building.
Workers came from as far away as Las Vegas to donate their services.
They started with a concrete slab at 7am and will have the church finished by 7am on Saturday.
The first service is Sunday morning at 10am.
