Space Opportunity
February 26, 2009
Levi has met with the owner of a property coming available in some time, on several occasions. The owner assures us verbally that we are first for renting the property once they move. We want it in writing that this is the case to insure us this transaction. Prayers appreciated. At the time of this letter, we are waiting for a final price to rent this land (desirable for the ministry and for us to live). We have offered the owner $700 a month for rent (about ¾ acre with coverings and a house that needs work). He’s only given us a purchase price that is about double what it should be. We are praying about it for now with no counter purchase offer. It would be best to rent for a year to make sure it is worth it in the long term. It is good to be on a property for a year to know if there are any area issues; flooding, crime, etc.
We are still establishing this ministry, the calling God’s given to Levi. As this happens in God’s time in God’s Way, we minister to others and building relationships. It’s great to see them grow more interested in the Word and in God as they interact with us. Also, Levi has helped a Guatemalan with materials for his home and another one by making a door and window. We have helped others by giving household items, our son and daughter’s clothes, and books/toys, explaining how God provides these items not “us because we have a lot”. This opens their eyes and hearts to God providing and loving them.
