The property-Michele

Hey guys, hope you all had a blessed week.  I had lots of positive response and encouragement for last week’s blog.  Thanks everyone for that and keep praying!!

I also had a few questions about the house and how we plan to use it.  So first of all, about the house:

 The house as it stands now will need modification in order to outfit teams.  Presently, it is a bungalow with three bedrooms two bathrooms a good sized living space and a fairly small kitchen.  We would need to build a second floor on with more rooms and expand the kitchen.  What makes this property so special is that it is kind of like a compound.  It has about an acre of land around it and 16 foot cement walls running all around it {very safe}.  It is right on the edge of the shanty town El Seman.  We have visions of building a small ‘school house’ at the back that could be used for many things.  One of the biggest prayer requests for this property is that the zoning of it will allow for it to be used in the way that we want to use it since it is a residential home at present.  I have someone investigating this.  Please pray for this.  The team has roughly estimated that it will cost somewhere in the range of 100,000 dollars to purchase this property and outfit it for missions.  That seems like a big number but for God it is easy- IF- this is what he plans for this partnership.  We will just keep walking in faith to see where God takes this.

Stay tuned next week for the Partnership’s ministry vision. 

Here are some prayer requests for this week;

1. For Ben:  Please pray for Ben as he goes to Santiago this week to have some radiography assessments done in preparation for the re-setting of his jaw.  His classes also wrap up this week but he continues to work on finishing off his internment requirements for the Compassion LDP program.
2. Compassion:  Please pray for Bernabe, the staff and new teachers as the new kids are now entering the program.  Many are already attending classes.  Please pray for the families of these kids as for some, this will be the first time they have been part of something outside their small communities.
3. Please continue to pray for the church and their renovation projects.  Also that they will continue to impact their community for Christ in a mighty way.
4. Please continue to pray for the Sunday school and for the youth-that many of them will be lead to the    Lord.  Thanks guys, here are a few more pictures

 Peace and Love in Jesus name, M
