Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is it. We are very close to the completion of construction for
this phase of the project. There has been so much activity in the
past few weeks. Each day, so much progress is made. There are so
many people praying, so many people working hard, so many people
preparing, as we get ready to move in.
We still urgently need prayers specifically to the completion of our
loan. Even though the loan is approved, we need to obtain our
occupancy permit by March 23, so the final paperwork can be processed
by April 1. Otherwise, the loan approval would expire, and we would
need to restart the entire loan process. In order to obtain the
occupancy permit, we need to get the final inspection, which typically
occurs 10 days after electricity is connected. We thank you for all
your prayers about the recent SDG&E issue. We are now scheduled to
have the electricity connected this coming Tuesday, March 16.
However, this would mean a final inspection on March 26, which would
not give us enough time to complete the final processing for the loan.
William Yen and the rest of the building committee is working hard at
completing the building, and working hard with SDG&E, city, and Wells
Fargo to ensure everything can go smoothly, and perhaps expedite
certain portions of the final steps.
So, we’re asking everyone to pray for this. Please pray that:
1) Construction can continue to make progress and compete soon.
2) Connection of the power can take place Tuesday, and there are no issues.
3) Inspection can occur in due time, or even sooner, with no major
findings. We can obtain our occupancy permit.
4) We can process the final portions of the loan in time.
And please also pray for those who have so diligently worked to bring
this phase of the project to completion, especially the building
committee. Please give them, and each other, words of encouragement.
We can all use more encouragement.
In Him,
Simon
