It is hard to get a picture that shows the outside of the house. The walls are so high the house itself would be hidden except for the roof. However, here is a shot or two from outside the house that may give you an idea of how things are outside.

There is Charity coming out to the garage. The garage door is automatic and the garage is big enough for two cars. My office is right inside the door that Charity just came out of.

This shot is from the downstairs looking up the driveway ramp. The first metal grating is a kennel, and up from it is a small area that houses the liquid gas, or propane, tanks. A copper tube connects to the kitchen directly above it.

To get a better view of the house the Lord has blessed us with, you’ll have to come give us a visit!

The Lord’s blessings are upon us and we desire to let you know of it by way of pictures.

After five year of paying rent, the Lord blessed us with churches helping us to get a down payment and the bank to finance the rest. The cost of the house payment is only about $100 over what we were paying in rent. Only now, if the Lord blesses whenever we sell, we will see our investment return to us.

The land on which this house was built has a very steep decline from the street-side level to the back of the property. This was why the builder built a basement. Basements are very unusual in this part of Brazil. The builder, who was the previous owner as well, has a business selling teas made from all kinds of herbs, plants and roots. That which he used as a drying room became a sound and filming room:

That which was the weighing and packaging area for herbs and teas became our print room:

That which was a stock room for dried plants and roots became our book room and computer stations for editing video and audio:

There was a room that which was full of portable metal shelving. This was adapted into a family room:

There is even an area for two bedrooms plus this open area for a game room which is suitable for hosting meetings. As you can see this open area was used as an exercising area for the former owner/builder. The space for bedrooms became Daniel and David’s space for reposing (not shown):

Upstairs was to be just for our residence. However, the family thought best to use the front living room for my office. It worked out very well. I was able to set up shelves to display our books and CD/DVD production. Pastors Ciro and Josué visited and were blessed with books and Bibles.

There is of course a garage and there are bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and a dining room:

There is a Winter Garden too. This is an area planned for ventilation and illumination inside the house. We adapted it to include a staircase to the basement.
