My reply was quite straight forward; you don’t need money to
start. It doesn’t cost you money to clear the overgrowth, to mark the
boundaries or to even start to dig the founds......just man power and muscle,
which, Praise God, we have a church of young vibrant men and woman who have
earned an experience within the last year in construction and community
work-force.
Already the Bank of Brazil which is in reform has paid men to
but their rubble on a truck and send it to our land....... God is great!
Pastor Tinho and myself do not receive a wage from the Living
Word Church. All the tithes and offerings from the church go to support the
upkeep of the church, towards the Living Word School and an honorary wage to
Pastora Gloria who came to the Amazon over 40 years ago and with her husband
Luiz started the work which later became the Living Word Church. Because of the
growth of the church and new increased support coming in from the U.K. there
was just under £10,000 in the church funds.
With these funds the start of the construction phase was able to
get underway, sand, cement, bricks, timber and gravel purchased.
But the reality is we are going to need plenty of money not just
to build the school but also to equip it and maintain it.
We know that when God builds the house the labours don’t labour
in vain. We are rest assured that somehow God is going to miraculously do the
impossible once again.
