UPDATE: The Search Continues
During the past ten days, we have been praying for a particular facility near the University of Michigan that will provide much needed accommodation and classroom facilities for our CAMPUS missionaries, and also be used for training and ministry-related activities. CAMPUS was one of nine other groups competing for a 32-room, 3-story building that was being offered at slightly below $1m (the listed price being $2.5m).GOD’S LEADING
Yesterday we were notified that our offer did NOT go through. (Evidently, others outbid us). In spite of the apparent disappointment for losing this facility, we believe God has answered our prayers:
“Our Heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme, will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet.” (Ellen G. White, Ministry of Healing, p. 481)
This means we must continue to pray for the Lord (1) to lead us to another facility of His choice and once it is found (2) to provide ALL the resources we need to procure that facility. Meanwhile, as we pray for God’s leading, we are considering all options – including purchasing a plot of land and to build a facility customized to meet our specific needs.
THE CHALLENGE
The price of real estate near the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is unbelievably very high. A simple facility on or near the campus sufficient to meet our needs will cost about $1.5m – an amount that is beyond the current resources of CAMPUS.
PROSPECTS
To date, we have received commitments and pledges of up to about $300,000 towards the CAMPUS House. With God’s help and your efforts, we believe we can raise at least $1m within 30 days towards the much-needed facilities.
