Our partner Senyo has been pastoring, evangelizing and ministering in the Volta region of Ghana since the 90’s, but the church in Ho has had a permit to build on purchased land for 10 years and not made much progress. In 2018 the government put pressure on him to raise the building to a certain point or lose the permit.
Now we are under a lot of pressure to finish the construction of the chapel or loose the building and the land. That means that it may need to be completed, or very close in 2022. Since 2018 until last week little if any work has been completed until this new pressure.
Please consider giving a gift to go toward the construction – even the smallest gift will help!
As we help raise funds, the work begins…
A note from Senyo:
They are under a lot of pressure to finish the construction of the chapel or loose the building and the land. He says this should happen in 2022. Here is the message he sent me today:
Just finished having a meeting with our quantity surveyor and Jonathan going through the plan. We will need $35,000 to get it done up to super structure. Building material prices have gone up astronomically early this year – iron rods, cement and lumbers. That is what will save us from all forms of threats. To them since we got the permit almost 10 years ago we have not done much than footing stage.
We got this land and had it zone twice already. First in 2007 when bought but couldn’t finish payment and the landlord went behind us and sold a portion of it. This led us to have zone a second time in 2011 where a chunk of money was taken from us because we have to go through a lot of 4 different panel teams who are to make decision. Now most of the the people l know then, are longer here. But the truth of it all is that because the Teaching Hospital status people are lobbying to have us booted out from something belongs to us. When no one thought the place could become very viable in 2007, we were the first be here.
They will be coming by in August to see if what I told is happening…
Church communal works on going since morning. We did floor casting and now laying block at the offices section of the Sanctuary…
Pray with us…
We have no idea where $35,000 will come from. Lord open the flood gates and pour out your blessings. Let not the time, effort, monies spent, all the prayers lifted up and all the hard work these workers have put in go in vain. Protect this investment and let your voice, your word be heard for generations to come in the chapel for years to come.
