Our Church family in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines must now find a new meeting place. For five years the Church family had an agreement with a property owner for use of a small house for Church. A large loan to the property owners was made in exchange for the use. Payment was made in many thousands of pesos. The five years ended on April 1st. I was contacted because the property owner could not repay the loan. The house was put up as collateral which means if she did not pay she would lose it. Because of my goodness of heart and promise of the lady who was the record owner to allow our church to continue to worship there, I forgave and canceled the debt. The lady promised the Church could continue to be there. A month later, this past week, her evil son appeared and began to cause trouble. The Church family cannot meet there any more.
I need your help for this Apostolic family.
The Pastor has found a lot where a Church can be built. The cost of the lot is 40,000 pesos or about $1,000 when fees are added.
We must build there a modest Church with a bathroom and a couple rooms for private use of the members. I am asking for donations to raise $3,000 for this project.
This will cover all cost of an engineer and other professionals needed to get the project approved, inspected, and finaled.
If you can please send an offering at this time it would be greatly appreciated. Any one who desires can visit this Church any time in the future. If you donate, your name will be placed on a plaque to be installed at the Church.
Help us build a Jesus House where the foundation will have the names of the Apostles, please send $500 for this and you will be given name credit.
Help us put up the concrete block walls and install the cornerstone with the name of Jesus in it ($800).
Help us put in the concrete floor/slab where we will put the names of the books of the Bible $500.
Help us build an altar in which the name of Jesus will also be inscribed $250.
Help us put the roof on $500.
Help us build the bathrooms $150.
Help us put in electric and some small rooms $550.
Please, I ask all of you to contribute. This is a work of God. You will get pictures as the work begins and is completed. All of you will be invited to come and be at the dedication.
Please, in Jesus name I ask.

That is so sad to know. If I just have the money, I would not hesitate to help and I would not intend you to put my name in the plaque. I really want to help but I am just an ordinary employee who is feeding a family and cannot donate the amount you needed. However, I really pray that you will have the money you needed. May God bless you.
