Phase One Complete

The House of Joshua perimeter wall construction is finished!

The next phase is to lay the 24 foundation column posts for the main house.

BUT

We must suspend building work while we try to sort out a discovered typing error on the land title deed. This must be corrected before we can transfer the title and apply for a building permit for the house construction

Unfortunately this is not as easy as it perhaps sounds, with the process requiring some time, patience and much perseverance with the various government offices that will be involved. PLEASE PRAY for intervention and favor for the anticipated delays.

In the meantime we are trying to solicit some assistance from our local congressman and Barangay Captain to obtain donated use of delivery vehicles for the access road construction and in-fill of the house floor area.

Please pray with us that this will be a catalyst to share God's heart across the Philippines for these precious children. It is our hope that the word will spread across Mindanao and beyond and bring about effective active responses that really make a difference to those that need it most!
