You may remember the following request for prayer sent in early August:

We would like to ask you to join with us in prayer about an urgent matter within ICC’s Changsha project. Last year during the move of the children into the community two flats in an apartment complex called “Hong Xuan” were rented for a specific group of children. These children have lived in these flats for almost a year. Unfortunately our rental contract on the boy’s home cannot be renewed because the owners are selling the property and a new home needs to be found in this same complex for them to move into.

Our deadline was for the end of this month to find a home for these 8 boys.

I would like to thank all those who joined with us in prayer, but, most of all I would like to ask you to join with us in thanking our Heavenly Father for the miracle that He has worked on behalf of our children today.

Time has been moving on and just today we came to the decision to rent an apartment on the 9th floor. This apartment did not meet all the criteria, being on the 9th floor rather than a lower floor and had less space, making it less than ideal for providing for the children’s therapy and educational needs. However, with a moving deadline of September 1st (only 5 days away) we had to make a decision. Just one hour before signing the contract on the 9th floor apartment, the new owners of the apartment on the 1st floor where the boys are currently living arrived, and very quickly agreed to continue renting the apartment to us. We had been led to believe that they did not want tenants. What a relief that this answers all of our prayers for an ideal home, with the amazing blessing of not having to move the children at all. The move would have not just involved the simple move of the children and equipment but the installation of a kitchen, air conditioning and some other modifications to the apartment itself.

Thanks again to everyone for your prayers. I would also like to ask you to praise Father for the amazing staff members who worked so hard to resolve this situation over the last few weeks, particularly Lucy Chua who took the lead on this.

Blessings
