Dear Friends and Partners of Mission Southside,
We invite you to rejoice with us and PRAY!
Exciting news - - God shut one door with the possible new construction of a building on donated land, but He opened another door for us. Last week, Mission Southside put an offer on a building, and it has been accepted! For less than half of the cost of any other building or option we have been looking at. The property on 168th Terrace and Ridgeview (15k sq. ft. on 2.5 acres) looks to be a strong possibility for us.
Please pray that the inspections will work in our favor. Today we received approval for zoning and usage from Johnson County. Thank you for your prayers and your Help Build Hope gifts that made this possible.
This is an exciting development, and we covet your prayers. More information will be shared in the weeks to come.
Your Mission Southside Team
