Modifications were submitted today (Monday, 26th Oct 2009) to the local city council for wonderful "amendments" to the original design for the basement area of the new CEF national office.
Recent recommendations from an engineer were for us to consider building the "basement" entirely above ground. In so doing, it will eliminate the threat of water seepage in the lower level. By building the basement now as a ground floor, we are now planning to convert this large area into accommodations for guests as well as for students who will attend our extended training courses. The ground floor will now house a kitchen, three "guest rooms" with shower and restroom facilities, a large storage room as well as a room for gardening tools and equipment.
We would ask you to pray now that the scheme plan for these modifications will be quickly approved. We continue to wait upon the Lord for His provision of the F$600,000 (US$330,000). Of this amount, we have approximately F$32,000 (USD$17,000) on hand.
We are living with expectancy of the miraculous! We fully anticipate God's provision of these funds any day now.
