Pray for the Evangelical Reformed Seminary building program. We need our own dormitory building to cut costs. A church offered us land to build, but, after a full year of planning, the city denied our rezoning request in January!Proposed ERSU buildingYet, we hope we’ll soon have our own facility for our intensive seminary sessions! Since our building project was turned down, we’ve been shopping for a new location. Our seminary colleagues were busy in negotiations while the Quartermans were gone, locating a great building for the seminary office, library, classrooms, and dorm! Although this came at huge extra cost, God has provided the need funds!

This deal even includes a trade for our current office, obviating our need to find a buyer. If it works, we’ll have to install some showers and a kitchen and buy some furniture, and we’ll be ready to move in! It seems ideal, so we really need prayer.

We need much wisdom in this huge and complex project! One doesn’t often think that missionary work entails banking, international finance, negotiating with Communists, learning legal jargon, architectural drafting, subcontracting, bookkeeping, interior design, etc. But Praise God for providing the funding! Pray that we take wise steps from here. This has been a large part of our long-range vision for years.
