Urgent Prayer Needed

Dear Co-workers in Christ,



We have a need that we're asking the whole field to make a serious matter of
prayer. We know many of you have prayed for a long time already that we
could get the rest of the dairyland sold. One obstacle to this has been
getting the land rezoned by the City of Peoria, but we are very pleased to
announce that this was approved last night, Tuesday, November 3rd. For this
we are truly thankful.



What we did not foresee was that, on the very day the zoning was approved,
our buyers would decide to walk out of the deal. So we now have the piece
of land with the proper zoning, but no buyers. This was crucial for going
forward with the dorm construction during a time when the prices are still
low. Very much of a delay will mean a huge increase in price for this
building to be completed. Timing is so crucial. We have just learned it
will be thirty days before we have to lock in the contractor or incur a
substantial increase in the cost of the project.



During very important times, God's people have often covenanted together to
fast and pray. This is something we're asking from all of you. Would you
sacrifice one meal or one day a week for the next 30 days for the sale of
the land? This would allow us to move at the current prices. We truly still
believe God's hand is at work, but we all need to be in tune and praying
together to see the answers come. Will you make a pledge to be a part of
this?
