For almost 14 years now, we have lived in rented houses in Slovakia. We just moved into our 5^th house in our town last summer. It has been an interesting journey in many ways. We are always reminiscing about when we lived here and there and remembering the details of each place.

But one thing it has not accomplished is helping us to establish home equity. We realize home equity is not essential to survival, but we have begun to wonder if it might be time to consider buying a home here. We have tried this before, but were not able to secure a bank loan here locally. Plus, houses are very expensive here (around $300,000 for a normal family sized house). So we asking you to help us pray about possible options. Here are the options as I see them.

1. By some miracle, we get a home loan here in Slovakia. (not likely)
2. Get a bank loan in the States. Also not likely since property in Slovakia is not accessible as liability to an American bank.
3. We start a house fund and start regular contributions to it over time.
4. Get a personal loan from a willing private person or organization in America. (probably the best option).

Our current owner just told us this week that he is willing to sell the house we are in currently.

So, please help us pray about this issue that we will know God’s plan. And if you have any other ideas, please don’t hesitate to tell us.
