Today marked day two of the cleaning/preparation of the new property. And with it we have had a rather large mercy from the Lord as almost all of the power to the main house still works. As I mentioned in an earlier post, no-one has lived on the property for the last 5 years. Which means that not only has time degraded things, but vandals have come and stolen cabling, roofing, and anything else they can scrap - in fact, 3 of the 4 houses have no electricity due to theft. However, the main house we are using is still in tact. Praise God!
The next great thing: Not only did the electrician come out to see the house, but the water man came as well... along with the locksmith... along with the carpet cleaners. Count them, 4 crucial services that all came out on the same day when we needed them. Now, for many of you this might not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you... some days if you can just get ONE person to come out when you need them it is a coup. Today everyone came.
Tomorrow will be a big day for us as well as we are moving in the YWAM furniture. Our "stuff" has been in storage for the last 8 months in a friends garage. We will be spending the bulk of the day transporting these things. Once into the house, we can officially say we've moved in - just in time for our first student who arrives on Friday.
Prayer Points:
- Please keep praying that we will be able to transition into a long-term agreement. Right now we are on the property temporarily as the owner tries to contact his lawyer (a seemingly impossible task) and can make a more formal agreement.
- We've heard that there is at least one other interested buyer. Let's pray we can come to a quick agreement so we can "lock down" the property.
- Our section 21 (non-profit status) STILL has not gone through.
