PENSIONERS’ HOUSE IN CEFA
As you may remember we are aiming to raise £65,000 to build a home for
needy pensioners. Our first target was to pay for the architect’s fees and we
give thanks to God that we have just sent that money (about 3% of the total
needed). Our next target is to raise the money needed for laying the
foundations which will be £5,000 – we hope to lay the foundations in the autumn
before the first frosts. After that – ideally early in 2008 - our aim is to
place the order and purchase the materials for the wooden house as soon as we
have sufficient money (with prices rising in
Because of the good relationship with the authorities who are grateful
for what we do in the community we do not expect major problems with obtaining
planning permission, but please do hold this need in prayer, as Alex aims to
get it resolved within the next couple of months. Please remember this project
in your prayers and pray that God will grant us favour in our fund-raising and
establish this home in
GIZZELA is a seriously
disabled elderly pensioner who has been supported by Mustard Seed for the last
5 years. During the summer last year the family who were looking after her
turned against her and threw her out so she was literally sleeping in the
courtyard under a shelter made of branches and plastic sheeting Thankfully when
the winter started another family took her into their home.
In the spring/summer this
year we were able to give her a garden shed to live in. She was and is
pathetically grateful for the shed and quite thrilled with it. It eases
pressure on the family who had taken her into their one room mud-brick house,
they are still cooking for her and helping her. Please remember Gizzela in your
prayers and others in similar situations.
Please pray we in Mustard
Seed will know the wisest and best way to use the resources we have to ease
suffering.
You may recall that in the May prayer update I asked for your prayers
for Nelu and raising funds for the holiday club he wanted to run for
under-privileged Romanian children with whom he is working. We have been able
to send him over sufficient funds for 11 needy young people to go to camp,
which means that those most in need will be able to go. The camp is later this
month.
