New Church in Libreville

I have been following the building of the Institute of Christ the King's new church in Libreville, Gabon. The following picture was taken in 2011, and it did not look as if it was going to be a very great piece of architecture.
I suppose that at such an early stage, it is not possible to tell what it is going to be like. In this later picture it has acquired a classical style of facade.
It is beginning to look like a church. The latest pictures show a further transformation.
I understand that the murals are composed of tiles made in Portugal. Here is a picture that shows a little more detail.
If the inside can be transformed in the same way, it will be a very impressive church.
