Family need
Finishing our family’s home
We bought a small brick house right in front of the 32 acres the church uses for camps. It was only a shell. Step by step, and paying as we go, we are making it a home.

The story
How it started, and where we are now
- Before
We rented a small one-bedroom apartment, saving toward a place of our own.
- May 2026
After a year of prayer and patient negotiation with our neighbor, who lowered the price more than once, we bought the house. The papers are in our name.
- The house
About 775 square feet (6 × 12 meters) of brick walls, with no kitchen, no proper bathroom, and no proper electrical or plumbing.
- August 2026
We had to leave where we were staying, with nowhere else to go, so we moved into the house long before it was ready.
- Today
Our family lives in the living, dining, and kitchen space. The bare floor keeps the air dusty, and the children have been sick on and off since we moved.
Loans here carry very high interest, so we pay for almost everything in cash, one step at a time. We are not asking anyone to give beyond what God leads. We share these numbers so you can pray specifically and see exactly where each gift goes.

After that
about $70,100Structure, roof, door, and windows

The addition
