Last night I spoke with our Peru director, Liz, about the seemingly never-ending search for a building to house the special teens we are working with. We have been searching for almost three months and have been close to making a deal on two different occasions. In both cases, the owners changed their minds about the sale and wanted to keep the properties within their family. Needless to say, this has been disheartening for us. We are anxious to have a building and provide a home for those teens who are being turned out on the streets after years spent in orphanages… teens who have not been prepared for life outside of institutional living.
As we talked last night, we both had an understanding that God has been moving this ministry forward and providing for us each and every step of the way. We also realized the need to continue to dedicate ourselves to prayer for guidance and wisdom. Our wants, desires and hopes for this ministry are under the submission of God’s plan and purpose. As a result, today our Peru team is meeting together to pray and fast for the perfect building. Many of us, in the states, are taking time to fast and pray as well. Will you join us?
The Peru team will end their time of prayer by visiting two buildings and two more pieces of property where we could possibly build. Maybe today is the day we find a building or maybe we will have to continue the search. Either way, we are open to what God has in store. We are praying and trusting Him to guide us and lead us, as He’s already been faithfully doing!
