Getting So Close

There is a sense of EXPECTANCY in the air around the office of CEF FIJI.  We are literally at the BRINK of something great and glorious.

We fully believe that we are 100% ready for the Lord's financial provision of funds to begin construction of CEF's new national office and training center.

  1. The property has been purchased and CLEARED of DEBRIS and dangerously tall TREES.
  2. The BUILDING PERMITS have been approved and ISSUED.
  3. The AMENDMENTS and changes to the layout of the GROUND FLOOR have been APPROVED by the city council.  They complete, what we believe, is God's design for this building.  It will provide accommodations for up to 26 people for our training courses and overseas guests.
  4. A private engineer from Australia has freely studied the architectural plans and given his stamp of approval on the building design.  (What an incredible blessing!)
  5. We have received 3 bids from contractors and IN OUR HEARTS have made our selection of the best CONTRACTOR with the best price.
  6. We are READY TO SIGN the building CONTRACT, with the EXCEPTION of the needed funds for construction.
  7. We are asking GOD for a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE by December 15th so as to "lock in" this price before construction costs increase on Jan 1, 2010 and to be able to sign the contract before law offices close on December 18th.
We need FJD $550,000.00 in our local currency which is equivalent to USD $300,000.00.   Any amount received above this would simply be the extra that God provides to purchase office equipment and furniture.

Pray with us, please, with a PRAYER of great faith.

William Carey, the great missionary to India said, "EXPECT great things from God; ATTEMPT great things for God."  With all of our heart, THIS is what we a trying to do!

"When we WORK, WE work;   when we PRAY, GOD works!"  PRAY...The Lord is already at work and we are simply asking Him to provide the funds to complete that which He has already begun!
