Making a Move

   We have been praying for the school as we minister there daily, especially in regards to expansion and space to resolve over-crowding, as well as my wife's health issues (fibromyalgia and IBS primarily) and for God to keep making a way for her to stay involved in the school ministry. God being so good, the building right next to the school has become vacant and available to us. We are really hoping to use the additional space for overflow for the school and to be our family’s home.
     It is a three bedroom duplex house with a guest quarters separate from the main house containing three rooms as well. It has its own compound (walled yard) and seems perfect for our purposes.
How would it help the ministry?
  • It would provide us with 3 rooms (the guest quarters at the back) we could use for special school activities/volunteers/guests 
  • Landlord has even agreed to let us make a small gate joining to the school property 
  • It would be convenient for youth meetings/ Sunday school as it's right next door to the building used by the church.

How would it help our family?
  • With my wife’s health issues, being able to go between home and work so easily would be a tremendous blessing for her to stay very involved with school but still be able to "pop home" for her special diet and supplements or short breaks when she needs to.
  • It would help us meet our housing needs for the next two years. (Our current rental lease expires at the end of August- in about 2 months) 
  • We could have a little garden area 
for veggies
  • It would be a lot quieter, greatly benefitting my wife’s need for a good night's rest to help her cope with the fibro. Our current place is along the highway and is very noisy from traffic but also from the hawkers and beggars who set up blaring speakers to beg for money all day. 
  • We wouldn’t have to keep our guard dogs chained up all the time as they could roam the yard and provide security

 In Ghana, rent is paid two years in advance - all upfront. We have given a deposit for them to hold it for us while renovations are going on (it is an old building and renovations will take the landlord a few months) and would greatly appreciate any help in meeting the deadline to make final payment by August.  Please pm us for details if you'd like to help us with this need in any way.  :)  Thanks!

 We feel this building would be a blessing to our family and ministry all around! If you, our supporters and co-laborers in the Lord, feel you would like to help make this move possible by helping with any amount, please let us know. God bless!
