***Praise God with us!*** As you know, we were scheduled to stop the construction tomorrow, due to lack of funds, thus forcing the redundancy of as many as forty construction workers, as well as the temporary laying off of our Christian architect and engineer. Well, today we have a had a BLESSED DOUBLE WHAMMY. Firstly, news overnight of donations from the UK and the US that would allow us to make a half month's payment, and keep building for a further two weeks. Then, just as we were rejoicing at this provision, and authorising the construction company to keep going, whilst in a meeting on the building site, we received a further phone call informing us that an anonymous foundation had given $100,000 US (£65,000). Wow!

The only thing we could do, with tears in our eyes, was praise God. Amazing. We then proceeded to inform the construction company Director, who is not a Christian, and he was gob-smacked, and then everyone else. The whole team here is rejoicing. We now have enough for two months work---so we can pay up the month we are currently behind, and the following month (March) as well, and keep going till April.

Many thanks for your prayers, and your messages, and for walking with us in this rollercoaster ride of faith. Today has been a GREAT DAY.

Thursday, 24 February: Please pray with us for our large project which reaches thousands of university students. Our SIM team in Bolivia recieved a phone call this morning, 24 February, from the construction company. The company will stop work after this Saturday, 26 February, unless we hear in the next 24 hours of additional funding. We did receive news today of a generous donation. While this is very encouraging, it is not enough to prevent the work stopping. We remain about £35,000 short (USD 50,000) for the next payment. Unless God provides a major miracle, we will be halting.

Please pray especially for the construction company and all the workers that will lose their jobs if we stop the work.
