Most urgent need
Our ministry in Bangalore is progressing, we have now three churches established in city, and growing. We were looking to buy a piece of property with a building for the furtherance of ministry, with the growth of this city the property value is raising every day.
In2006 we found a property and did agreed to buy and paid $91000.00. but the land owner changed their mind due to the value of property were raising more than doubled, they disregard the agreement and were trying to sell for double prize, we try to talk to them in many ways but the greediness took them to their ways, finally we have to go to the court with civil and criminal offence, since our agreement was strong and true.
Finally after long four years the court ordered in favour to the truth of the matter, and ordered in favour to us.
We need to come up with the original balance amount $76000.00, before 31st of march to pay, if we fail to do so we will lose the property and the amount which we paid.
Will you please do look in to this matter as an urgent needs, and pray that the Lord may provide. Truly speaking the property will be coast more than double amount than what we are paying .will you please do pray and see what practical help you can be in this crucial need.
Sarah is keeping well, she is helping and organizing women’s ministry and helping the children’s homes along with debee. Johnson and Debee are keeping well with their service in Punjab and other north Indian states.
Do continually pray for Tim, as he is carrying on his studies in the university, thank you so much of your prayers and help for his studies, continually pray that the Lord meet his needs for his studies.
With Kind regards
Sarah and gs
