Closing went without a hitch yesterday and now we are home owners for the first time in 10 years.  PTL! 

More importantly then that is a update I recieved from an FYM in New Zealand, Barry Webber.  Buying a house is nothing compared to winning a lost soul to Christ!  Here is what Barry says:

I have been having a rockin time here in New Zealand letting God teach me and work through me. I am amazed that God can use my life in so many little ways that other people can easily see. I have developed a really good friendship with a guy who comes around the base. He likes our whole team and is just amazed at how everything works so smoothly and without complaining. We have been telling him about Christ and he has just absorbed everything. It came to a climax last Sunday when he asked me to help him recieve Christ. My first time leading somebody to Christ. Well I cannot take credit to it at all, the credit belongs to God. I was really excited but not compared to my friend who was jumping up and down with a huge smile. God has been answering the prayers of our team and it is amazing to see. All I can say is that he is a God worth LIVING FOR!!
