Sorry I have not kept up with this blog. Today I write with good news! A provisory sale contract has been signed! As of January 2010 the House of Hope no longer pays rent! There is still $8000 left to complete the sale (due mostly to what we lost in the exchange rate and partly to $2000 that they kept back to use for completing the paperwork...deeds are expensive to obtain), but there are local partners willing to complete this sum now that they see that the bulk of the payment has been made.
This is a great start to the New Year for the House of Hope! I'm so proud to say that the orphanage has its own home and so thankful to all of you who made this possible! They already have plans to expand the second floor and we know God has wonderful plans to continue to use this ministry to bless young people in this city.
