Today, rather unexpectedly, we learned that the Northchase Apartment complex has been placed under new ownership and management. As a result they have closed down the community building that Jeramy has been using for the ESL ministry. They will be renovating it for office space and there will only be one room open for the community to use. Also, the illegals who may be living there will be evicted. It is heartbreaking and disappointing to say the least because we have no idea when it will re-open or how many people we know will be kicked out.
This raises a lot of questions about vision and God's leading for this ministry and various logistical/financial issues also. (Since being approved for the 501c3, non-profit status recognized by the IRS, there have been no contributions to the ministry -- should we need to utilize an available apartment space to continue the work there.) Through this opportunity we have been able to meet a real need of the people, build relationships with them and share the Gospel with them almost every week for the past 8 months (with a short break). Many of the Hindu people have no American friends and have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ before. We covet your prayers for wisdom, discernment and direction.
Thank you.
