Sunday, December 23rd , was a day of rejoicing for our church body when we burned the mortgage for our former church building on Business Highway 371 in Brainerd. Minnesota. The mortgage was paid off by an anonymous donor and then the building and 9 acres donated to Teen Challenge of Minnesota. It was an exciting day, especially for those of us who had been working intensely on the project both on and off the internet. Many meetings with people and God took place and I feel that God's will was done . We are grateful that there was no resistance to the process as it went through City Council and Planning and Zoning meetings at a speed that was, again- God's doing.

Thank you for your prayers and assistance on this project. Please continue to pray with TC Director - Rich Scherber and his team as they begin the process of remodeling the facility and bringing in the staff that they need. As of this writing, the facility will not be divided and will be designated for male only use. That way, the gymnasium can remain in place and be used for that purpose.
I have volunteered to be the decorator and paint / finish consultant . I will need strength to add that in to my "hopefully" busy Spring staging season, as I continue marketing efforts here in the staging resistant part of Minnesota. I would like to work closer to home and will continue to pursue that territory in the 2008 season.
Again, thank you for your support and prayers on this project - Teen Challenge will be in Brainerd . Many lives will be changed and restored in 2008 as a result of their and your ministry.
