The Housing Search

One of the challenges that face our family and ministry in the following months is searching for a house to buy. The housing market in Antofagasta is crazy, cut-throat, and caro (expensive). Our rental contract for our apartment ends in April 2012. It would be ideal if we could buy and move into mission housing before or around that date. There are many unknowns.

There is no problem finding housing. The trick is finding something that is affordable, in decent condition, in a decent location, and that has enough space for our family.

We have (as a family) visited a few places to get a better feel for sizes, location, and conditions of housing around the city. Each week, we are keeping our eyes open online for housing leads and information.

We are praying for a house with a combined living room/dining room which would allow us to host larger group Bible studies and/or services in the next phase of the church planting ministry.

Please pray for the following:
*God's provision of sufficient funds to buy mission housing.
*Patience and trust in God's timing
*God's provision of a house that would be suitable for our family and ministry needs.

Stay tuned to the blog or our Facebook ministry page for updates on this housing search.
