Financial Housekeeping

Just a little notice to all who have generously given or who plan to give:

The tax deductible receipts will be issued as soon as the money is sent off to purchase the house OR at the end of the year, whichever comes first, so do not expect to receive an immediate acknowledgement of your gift. It's a small church with a small staff helping with the financial side of things, so this is the easiest way for them to shoulder the extra work of this project.

All the money is waiting in an account here in the States until we are able to send the full amount to purchase the house or to make a hefty down-payment. No funds will be used for any other purpose (rent, food, etc.). We don't want to send only part of the total sum and then not have enough to complete the sale and end up losing the house. So until we raise the total amount, the orphanage remains in a precarious position. Please keep praying and spreading the word!
