Closed Door

Due to the economic situation in Swaziland and the risks involved, the funds to purchase the Brown buildings for the Chips Community Center will not be released at this time. This sad news came in the last week or so. The owner of the buildings has been notified that Chips cannot proceed with the purchase.

We, along with the rest of the Chips team, are disappointed as the buildings would be ideal to facilitate the growth of Chips and more effectively reaching Maphiveni and the surrounding communities. However, we know that God's plans are not our plans and His ways aren't our ways. We are taking the next few months to really seek God's direction, guidance and provision in this area. Chips does need to acquire some buildings in order to continue growing.

Would you please pray for us to be in tune with God and that His plan would be revealed clearly to all the members of the team? Also, that God's provision would be more than we could ask or hope? This way, whatever does happen, God will get all the glory for it. On our own we have no options to pursue.
