Alexandre and I had the opportunity of talking to a lady who is president of the neighborhood association. A few years ago the association was given a piece of land in the middle of the neighborhood for the construction of a family-center and an office for the association. However, because of a lack of funds for construction it was never built.
While handing out fliers on Sunday afternoon Alexandre gave the lady an invitation and his conversation lead to her comment about how impressed she was with what we are doing. Ale mentioned our need for land. She said, "Why don't we give you the land we were going to use?"
Ale was a bit taken aback by her offer. In an neighborhood where nothing comes free he didn’t know what to say. However, in our conversation tonight it appears that the lady was so impressed with our work that she is going to bat for us at the mayor’s office in what would essentially be a 99 year donation of the property pictured in the map (the green triangle)! It is a huge piece of property I’m guessing about 2000 square meters. It would be God’s miracle if it comes to be. So, please pray with us for His direction and wisdom in this import matter.
