Catching up.

While there hasn't been much written here in this space, there has been quite a bit going on with our Kingdom Campus prayer and development work. Let me see if I can catch everybody up. Thanks for every one's continued prayers and work. Here are the highlights. If there is something that I miss, please place it in the comments below this post.

After our prayer time on the 70 acre sight we felt great about moving forward in faith. We knew that we needed around 2 million dollars to purchase the property and that it would have to come in a non-traditional way. Even though this seemed like a steep mountain, the prayers had been overwhelmingly positive.

We did have one prayerful "No" and took that seriously. We checked into the concern and decided to continue forward keeping the "No" alternative in mind.

John Taylor and others worked hard to find developers, investors, and ministry possibilities that might be the pieces we needed. Our hope was to discover what God was doing and become a part of it. While there was some interest, which still exists, there was never a solid partner.

The developers spoken to felt like the property was either too big for their company, or too small?! We have ministry born interest in the clinic and will soon have a meeting with an assisted living ministry. We also had an encouraging conversation with Canyon Lake Water Supply, Pyramid Development in Houston, and some other folks who can take part in different ways. But, we still had not found a way to purchase the property.

Then through God's movement we were able to set a meeting with one of the owners of the property, Mr. Michael Andersen. Mr. Andersen welcomed us into his home and we explained to him some of developmental difficulties and our vision. We also felt prayerfully called to ask him to donate the land to the vision. It was exciting but definitely strange.

Since then we extended the contract one time,but as the next extension came around we felt like the money was too steep and we let the contract go. Since then, we have still not heard from the Andersens. We have friendly control of two adjoining pieces and are continuing to pray about what to do next.

I believe that if there was a way this land could be donated, or the money was found, we could begin to give it in partnership to the ministries we believe are called to be a part of this campus vision. With that land as donation the clinic, hope center, assisted living, chapel on the hill, community center, and other ministries would be half way toward realizing their visions and have great momentum toward realizing them. But, to this day we still wait.
