Please Pray

Olah!

So here is an update on what’s going on- and more than anything a request for prayer….

Construction has started up again, but not because we have paid for it…

In India, you need to rent a great amount of wood when you are building a concrete structure. This wood is used as a mold, they will design the floor out of wood, and then lay the iron on top of it- later the concrete will be poured, and will harden in this mold. However the people who rented us the wood are becoming understandably frustrated… it’s been so long since we’ve built, and so long since we’ve paid the rent. So last week they sent their men to take all of the wood away- Vijay begged them not to and promised them that we would start building again. Now Vijay has secured just enough money in loans, to pay a small percentage of our debt to the shop- so they have agreed to supply materials so that we can lay the third floor … construction is going again, but we still haven’t really paid our debt, all we are doing is building on it.  By Wednesday we’re guessing our debt will be around $20,000 which is a huge deal in India. Please pray for us… we are of course excited to see construction going again, but the growing debt is a constant burden on minds… burdening us to the point of becoming sick with the stress. We ask that you would join with us in prayer, that this money would be provided.
