life up till now

so since my mini vacation surfing, life has drastically changed.

it got busy...and weirdly enough not just busy but actually productive which can be a bit of a commodity in developing nations. this last week, we've been working on the legal side of securing a new office. we've been blessed with the opportunity to move into a newly built place and use it for our office. its quite nice and well below the current market price. God is good.

of late the housing program in Trinco has really taken off. we're building 120 houses but starting with 50. we're doing it through community empowerment where we mobilize the community to make the changes and decisions. they will organized into units and each unit will be responsible for building the houses of their particular members. most of the community have been effected by the 20+ yrs of civil war and by the recent tsunami. we are giving them a chance to rebuild their homes and establish their roots again. its moving along very quickly and the community and government are excited to see this type of development taking place. its great to be a part of. currently we're lacking a bit of funding...our head office gave our funding to another region because they had didnt have any and supposable were ready to start...bummer eh? sooo, if any of you have 240,000 to drop on building houses for poor people in Sri Lanka you could really be a blessing. ahahaha for the rest of you, could you just pray that the Lord will provide enabling us to be a blessing to the nations? thanx

i leave to return to seattle on the 14th or oct. so anyone there that wants to get together with me start booking appointments cuz its almost all full. oh wait...not quite. i'll be home for one-two months for some work and rest before its time to head back out to Sri Lanka. it sorta feels weird to be coming back to seattle....but i like it.

my dad comes out here at the end of this month, so it doesnt give me any excuses. i've really got to be working now. it'll be great to have his company for ten days. he'll be doing a pastors conference, which will be sic. all of ya'll should be there.

anyways, this week has absurdly busy. my brain is a lil fried and i dont think straight. when i stop everything else sorta gets blurry and flies by. not literally but close enough. i'm going to go run. take care and blessings to you all. God bless.
