Thanks for praying. Had a great meeting this morning. The mayor confirmed the need for more places of safety. There are others in the area, but not enough to meet the need. There is both a short term immediate need - place of safety, and long term - orphanage/cluster foster. She loves the idea about a piece of property that would have all of the above. I shared with her the vision of Calvary Chapel Ft. Lauderdales 4kids program and she said that apart from the church stepping in and helping that it probably would not happen.
At this time there is no munciple owed land that would work for such a place, however she asked to write up a formal proposal. We have all the necessary paper work in order to start such a place we just need to write the proposal.
She did tell us of a camp in the area that is strugling to maintain its mandate. The property is owned and governed by a trust, so we could never own the property, but she said they may be looking for a ministry to come alongside them and enter into an agreement to help manage the property. We have emailed the people at the camp in order to set up a meeting.
It was a great first meeting. We have work to do and already have our next meeting on the horizon. Thanks for your prayers and please continue.
Blessings
