What About the Property?

Some of you have been asking about the land purchase. In fact I got a note from my friend Tom asking about it just this morning. So, I decided to respond to Tom's question and send the note to everyone on my list. 


Tom

Funny that you should ask about the property. We talked about it last night in our team meeting. We see three options. 

• We could buy a piece of land near the neighborhood and build. 
• We could buy a couple of houses that are side by side and remodel or 
• We could buy just one house and expand as we grow. 

We have R$37,000 ($22,000) available to choose our option. We decided last night to pray and ask God for specific guidance as we proceed. We plan to talk to a man next week about option one. There is a huge piece of property next to our neighborhood and we will be asking him to sell us a 600 meter square piece. If he does we will have our land but no money for construction. If the man say, "No" we will consider that God is closing that door and we will go to option two. 

In option two the seller want's R$70,000 ($41,600) for  two houses. In this as in the first option the location is excellent. We would have a place to meet and could begin remodeling as money comes in. 

In Option three the owner wants R$30,000 ($17,850) for her house. It is in the middle of the neighborhood. Not too visible from the main road but an option. 

We will begin walking through these three options on Monday. We want to use the funds that God has given wisely. So, pray with us about these options and let's see what God wants.
