'Wonderful' Healing Home update

Manny, the engaging son-in-law to the owners of the new house, asked me to call around sometime. I took Mike Cullen there this mornng so that he too could get a feel for the place that will soon become a healing home.

I'm amazed and grateful for this sense of the favour of God in our dealings. We had a few sticking points with the lady of the house last time around that were unresolved. Today, she was pleasant and almost warm. Two air-cons have been installed that we did not expect. Security razor wire has been put up. We have the offer of three of their dogs - one a professional rat-catcher; the other two serial barkers. Unwanted furniture has been moved out and a heap of cleaning and tidying has taken place over the last week.

Here's our good natured landlord - a retired former high-ranking government official, his daughter who is a very well-known singer, and son-in-law Manny, with Mike Cullen. Those are mango trees front and back - yay!!

Our take-over date is Monday June 16. We will hold a dedication service on-site on Sunday 22 June. Chris Lee has his tickets booked, as do good Toowoomba friends Adrian and Joan Meston. We are thrilled to have these awesome friends stand alongside us for this time.
