Thank you for your prayers! Here is a follow-up to our last post regarding dreaming bigger about owning a building in Sioux Rapids: After touring the building, the Lord showed us the answer is NO to that possibility! Lots of interior work would need to be done, much more than anticipated. Other issues were the heating sources, the wiring, no a/c, the location of the bathroom, whether the new trailer would fit due to other things that had not been removed from the bay. The main point was that it would be better to put the money into our own property by returning to our original January 2024 vision of a multi-purpose building on our own acreage. During the summer, we had even buried the plans of it in the place where it would be built as an act of faith! The Lord knew my (Karen) concern about the townspeople coming to our property for events or Bible Study because I heard Him say clearly, “If you build it, they will come!” I chuckled at that and got peace! We are now wholeheartedly pursuing that vision. Emil will be gathering bids for the cost and we are looking to the Lord for His provision of the resources to make it happen!

Emil got his Bible out and it opened to Psalm 107:35-38. We see our home and property spelled out: oasis of water, springs making fertile ground, feeding all who are hungry, reaping a bumper crop, fruitful harvest, blessed with multiplication and prosperity! We receive it, Lord!
