Thank you for praying for us during the past week as Claudia and I went over for a short visit to Germany in order to view this house which we found on the Internet . We put down an offer and praise God, the owners have accepted it. The house is exactly what we were looking for and more!! Not only that, but it is ready for us to move into in July (DV).
The house is located in a little town with 2,900 inhabitants called Binzen . It is in the very SW corner of Germany in the borough of Lörrach which straddles both the French and Swiss borders and is also on the edge of the famous Black Forest.It is around 10 minutes from both Joel's school and the church. The autobahn on-slip is 2 minutes away. The journey time to Kilchzimmer will be about 50 minutes. The town has excellent bus connections and it is only 15 minutes by car from Basel airport.
The house itself has a large room on the ground floor with a separate entrance, which I will be able to convert into an office. There is also a guest room and a spacious living room area for entertaining.
Not only has God provided all that! Joel always said he wanted to live near a train line. Well guess what? There is an old restored railway, which passes about 50 metres away from our front door. It only operates in the summer months on Sundays using a steam locomotive. Of course the boys are thrilled about this.Please pray for us as we now fill in lots of forms and make all the practical preparations for moving to Germany.
We praise God once again for His wonderful provision in this way!

We're so thrilled for you all as a family. Further confirmation for you that God's hand is very much in your move to CEF, and that His presence is already going before you.
ReplyDeleteWe'll keep praying for the rest of your practical and spiritual preparations for July.
