The Church in Berlin
We thank the Lord that through the prayers of the Body, we have signed the purchase contract for the new meeting hall. Please pray that the Lord will be glorified in His meeting the financial need for the completion of the purchase of the hall through the cheerful giving of the saints in Berlin and the response and supply from the Body. The remaining need is approximately 2.6M USD. The final payment is due November 15.
