Short Post, Long Story

The seemingly never ending, super-elongated, extended version of the story of our house is way too... how can I say it... long, to be fully writen down here. In summary we have been in it, out of it, allowed to use it, told to get out, hated and welcomed all at different times over the last 4 years. We are currently out of it (i.e. living with Maiko's parents) and waiting to get back into it.

As you can tell its been a bit of a rollercoaster with the house but recently, on the basis of the ownership issue now being more or less sorted out we believe that God would have us back there again. This is brilliant news for us as it really is the best site for the church. It has everything we need and its really near to where all the kids live. Hosting the church in Maiko's mum's house has been good because it is a beautiful house, but for some of the kids its a bit far to come. The church was started in our house and we really believe that God will bless us when we move back in. So here's to a happy homecoming :)

The house currently needs some reconstruction where a part of the wall was knocked down (I'll maybe tell you that particular part of the story some other time!) but we believe the money will come at the right time. Until then its business as usual at church, and I'm off tomorrow to plan an orienteering event at a local park... Long Live Kid's Ministry!
