Good news folks. We have finally got the survey work done so that means we can proceed with purchasing the property. The print that the surveyor drew up will be sent to the title company and they then should warranty the deed. Now we must gather those who agreed to invest with us in this and determine what funds are still available. One of the investors has had some financial needs show up during this long wait to get the title cleared so he will not be able to participate at the level he had indicated at first. That is how things go and I completely understand. What I know is that God owns all the wealth of the universe so I am not concerned. When all is said and done this will be something that we will be able to say "Look what God did". I look forward to the miracles to come. This old store will be a place of ministry. We have learned of a need to start what is called a "Recovery Group" in Martin County, which is similar to AA only it is bible based. We know that God has all kinds of plans for us and for this property. I hope to start a bible study group that can meet in the building and of course we have much work to do to create a store that can serve the needs of the thousands who drive past every day. That will require getting all the stuff a store needs. Shelves, coolers, counters, cash register, and more. This is fun for we don't have any money. Watch and see what the Lord will do.

Yay!!!! Progress at last. We found a surveyor to help clear up the title and after some prodding he promises to get this done by Tuesday the 16th. This has been a long process and not as simple as we had hoped, but any job worth doing is worth doing right. Lord willing the property will be ours in a week. But that's when the work really starts. We must move the Septic system and level out the lot, then dig trenches for all the plumbing and wiring for each RV spot. Turning that building into a store will also take some doing. There is lots of equipment to buy. Unfortunately we may have missed out on an opportunity as we just learned of a small restaurant/store, similar to what we want to build, that had closed it's doors after selling the property to an oil company. That's Ok, God will provide. Step by step we will get to the goal.
