After years of praying, months of meetings, and believers around the world giving, we almost have land in the village for the new home of Faith Bible Church.<\/p>\n

Last month, the believers in the village selected a piece of land and approached the \u201cowners\u201d to see if they would like to sell.\u00a0 Within hours, the believers were enthusiastic with the news that, yes, the \u201cowners\u201d wanted to sell and the asking price was reasonable.<\/p>\n

As you have noticed, the word owners<\/em> is in quotes and this is where the fun begins.\u00a0 The owner, named on the title, died 20 years ago.\u00a0 As a result, the land can only be sold, the deceased\u2019s wife and all the children of the deceased sign the deed of sale.\u00a0 The deceased owner has 7 children.\u00a0 So, we need the signatures of the wife and all seven children.\u00a0 This is where the fun gets exciting.\u00a0 One of the children is deceased also.\u00a0 So, in his place, all four of his children (the grandchildren of the owner of the land) need to sign the deed of sale.\u00a0 So, all-in-all, we need 11 signatures from 11 people who are scattered throughout the Philippine islands.<\/p>\n

\"Signing
Signing the Papers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thankfully, last Thursday, the wife of the deceased owner, the six living children, and one grandchild all met with Stephen and two believers at the lawyer\u2019s office.\u00a0 The papers were prepared and they all signed.\u00a0 We almost have all the signatures.\u00a0 We almost have the land. \u00a0However, before the papers can be filed and the title transferred over, we still need the signatures of three more grandchildren.\u00a0 Unfortunately, these three grandchildren live on different islands of the Philippines.\u00a0 Thankfully, one of the children is communicating with them and hopefully the grandchildren will come over around Christmas to sign the papers.<\/p>\n

We praise the Lord, for His provision of this land and we pray for the completion of this transaction.<\/p>\n
