It has been a very touch time since the last update!
For us as bystanders, it was hard to understand why nothing is happening. You can imagine how double tough it was for "Abraham" and "Sarah", as they are the ones in the thick of it all.
3 (!) real estates came to look at the house. This was strange in light of the landlord's remarks that he had already buyers "waiting in the wing".
The whole situation of not knowing what will happen, the impossibility to plan anything, the fact that looking for another house is such a daunting project, due to the very high rents and the big question: where to look? They'll never find such a "perfect" place like this.
And then suddenly the landlord called with the news that he wanted to EXTEND the contract till March 2008, to make the 5 years full.
Speaking about miracles! A change of heart? We don't know, but the Beit Avraham staff is very grateful for this breathing space.
Please, will you continue to pray with us for God's guidance and wisdom and the other miracle: someone willing to buy the house for the Beit Avraham. Especially pray for Avraham and his family - that God will give them the emotional strength to "hold on".
