New Meeting Hall in Madrid, Spain –
The financial need for purchasing the meeting hall has been met. The closing will happen on 9/30. There still a need of at least $100,000 to renovate it. Further offering is still welcome..

Meeting Hall in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – The brothers in Addis Ababa have located an excellent property which is 5 miles from the city center and the airport. The property is 1.75 acres, and currently has a 2-floor residential building with 9,000 sq ft of space. This could be renovated to be used for offices for the work or residential space for serving ones. The brothers would also like to build a meeting hall which would fit 800-1000 saints, a training center with dormitories, and a hospitality facility for saints travelling for trainings and conferences. The property will serve as a center for furthering the Lord’s move across Africa. The current owners have been quite favorable toward the brothers, and have offered to sell the property for 2.5 million USD, although the assessed value is 3.5 million USD, and land prices have been nearly doubling on a yearly basis for the past several years. A down payment of 365,000 USD is due by June 15, and full payment is expected by August 15. The church in Addis Ababa plans to contribute 100,000 USD for the purchase.  Please bring this matter before the Lord in prayer.  If the Lord leads you to offer please designate your offering for Addis Ababa meeting hall.
