New house in sight

Sorry it's been awhile since an update. The original house we were looking at has now sold to someone else since we weren't able to make a down payment in time. Thankfully, this led the orphanage staff to discover an even better location. The new house is 2 stories tall and corresponds very well to their needs.

We now need to raise a total of $70,000 to purchase the house. It's more expensive than the other house, but it is better than the other one and will not require any renovations. And this is still a good price, given the high cost of property within the capital city.

I don't know right now the current total, but I know we need at least another $55,000, so let's keep at it! Nothing's too big for God and if we all come together it's an attainable goal. What keeps me encouraged is knowing that once we achieve the goal it's going to be a lasting contribution to a very worthy cause. It's something that will continue to make a difference for many years to come!

Pray for wisdom and provision for the House of Hope in the meantime, because they still need to move out of their old location but don't have a place to go yet. We either need to raise the last of the funds very soon or they need to make a temporary move into another rentable house.
