There are over 1,100 elementary schools, and 1.1 million children in Cook and DuPage Counties and most of them haven’t heard the Gospel. Chicago CEF’s goal is to help those children be introduced to Christ, taught to follow Him, and get into a great local church. However, that is an unrealistic goal for the size of the missionary staff that we currently have. Let’s face it, raising support to be a missionary is scary. So, we are trying to get more missionaries in the harvest field of children by giving them free and / or reduced rate housing while they raise their support. This is not an easy task! Chicago is an expensive place to find housing (hence the great need!), but God has given us a great vision. Many of you have walked with us through this process from the beginning, and we want to give you an important update! We could be closing on the HUB (Housing, Urban ministry Building) the 20th of this month. Would you join with us in prayer that everything goes through? We have thought this exact same thought for four weeks now, and the bank connected with the seller keeps putting things off. Please pray for God to move in this bank situation for things to come together with the 20th.
