We serve an amazing God! All the money that was needed to purchase the house has come in! We want to thank everyone who has helped make this possible! We have watched God do incredible things over the past few months and we feel so blessed! We are overwhelmed by all the love and support we’ve received from churches, friends, and family! Please pray that the paperwork would be processed quickly and that we could move in this coming June. :) Thanks again to everyone who sacrificed to help us. Your prayers and support have made an amazing impact on our ministry!

 

“with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

God has continued to bless our commitment to purchase this house! Three more churches have promised to send a portion of the second downpayment!  Words cannot express just how thankful we are for all the support we have seen from churches, friends, and family. God has used this entire process to really grow my faith! At this point, we are still lacking $9,000. We have paid for all the taxes, closing costs, and bank fees; now, all that is left is the money needed for the final downpayment.  The owner’s original deadline was the first week of February but she has graciously extended that to the end of the month. We’re almost there, the end is in sight! If you would like to help us purchase this house for the ministry, you can send your contributions to our support address. Just designate it on the memo line: Baran House Fund. Please continue to pray for God’s provision! 

These are exciting times! We signed the papers for the house! Now, the process has begun and the title is being transferred to my name. We also paid $10,000 as part of the downpayment for OUR house :).  For me, it was a big step of faith…we have completely committed ourselves!  But I know God is going to see this through…He has only continued to open doors for us throughout this whole process! The deadline for the second half of the downpayment is due in February. We cannot emphasize enough just how amazing this opportunity is. During our first four years on the mission field, we rented a house. In the end, we still took care of the house like it was ours…paying for any and all repairs. It does not make sense for us to continue to invest our time and finances into a house that does not belong to us. But this was not something we searched for. This was not something we planned. Our original idea was to look into housing after furlough…but the Lord had completely different plans. He brought this house to us.  We know He will provide the funds we are lacking. We want to thank those of you who have already given toward our home! Several individuals have sent their financial support…adding up to almost $1,000!  Our home church has sent $5,000 and we praise the Lord for them!  This brings the total cost of what we need down to $9,000. If you would like to help us with this wonderful opportunity, please send your contributions to our support address.  Just designate it on the memo line: Baran House Fund.  Thank you for your faithful support of our family and ministry!
