Our House

Many of you have asked about our new home. It is really coming along. We can't tell you how blessed we feel to have found this house. It is never easy to find a home to live in, in a village of indigenous people. They don't have homes just sitting around ready to rent. They all live in their homes and if they don't live in them some part of their family lives in their home. So, finding the home we live in now and the one we have found in the new village is definitely a direct answer to our prayers! So for that; we have YOU to thank!

When we first found this new home it needed quite a bit of work, but most of the homes that no one is living in, still need a lot of work or someone would live there.  This home was left sitting, unfinished for many years as it's owner went to the US to pastor a church. He is a wonderful man and has become a friend to us. What a huge blessing! So, in place of paying rent for the next 3 years we are finishing the house to live in. This is a blessing to the owner b/c he will have a finished home and we will have a place to call home for the next 3 years and both of us come out winners. I am going to TRY and post some pictures now to show you what the house looked like when we found it and what it is looking like now. It is a really nice home for us and I can't complain for one second. I am thankful to our company and to all of those who support us financially for making it possible for us to live comfortably while serving our people. We love you all!! Missy

Sorry, I have tried for the last 30 minutes to upload one picture and have had NO luck! So, I will try and do this again some other time this week! Love you!!
