Prayer Requests


Please Pray for finances for:

IMMEDIATE (Missions Trip 09)
  • Transportation (15 seater minibus $2400 for 2 weeks)
  • Tent (for outside meetings)
  • Puppets (Sesame street style)
  • Football equipment
  • VBS materials
  • Sound equipment






LONG TERM
  • Land - In order to build upon £200,000 ($330,000)
  • Building Materials - Church / Development Centre & 4 houses for 3 families & 2 single ladies £300,00 ($500,00)  
  • Ongoing financial support 



In this particular area the situation is in complete contrast to that which we are so familiar with in the UK. Houses are not readily rentable or purchasable.

The best, cheapest & most practical option would be to acquire some land & build the facilities to meet our needs in the short term & then expanding as necessary at some point in the future.

We have found some land to purchase and build our homes and the Church / Community / Development centre. This could possibly happen all at the same time or in phases, it all depends on the amount of provision provided. We estimate the cost of 3 acres of land to be in the region of £200,000 ($330,000) & the building of 4 homes & the Church Centre (materials & labour) to total approx £300,000 ($490,000)

The fact that the area is very poor isn’t reflected in the Land prices which are very expensive, due to outside foreign investors building Hotels & resorts, pocketing all of the profits. I have spoken to a real estate agent & booked a viewing appointment when we go in Aug to get more acquainted with the purchasing process, there is land available and we are praying for the Lord’s provision in this.

Thank the Lord for:

  • A donated a 2kw generator
  • Great turn out of over 200 people for dinner & dance
  • 100 wind up torches donated
  • Personal financial support
