To All:
For some time now, the Ocoee COG has had a desire to purchase a piece of property adjacent to its current location.
About 15 months ago, the asking price was $210K.
At that time, the church offered $187K, however, no deal was ever reached!
Well – how time changes things!
About 2 months ago, I received a call from the investment group that now owns the property.
The person on the line began to share details regarding the property with me.
I advised him that I was very aware of the property and the details.
The person I was speaking with was named Paul.
Paul said “Pastor, I want to sell you that land.”
To make a long story short, we now have a signed contract on the property!
The contract price is $86K, down by $124K from 15 months ago! Praise The Lord!!!
In addition, the owner is willing to owner finance the land at 5% interest!
During a Called Church Conference on Sunday, January 4, there was a 93% vote to move forward with the purchase.
Today, I submitted the needed paperwork to the COG State Executive Offices in order to obtain their approval.
My Regional Bishop, Chris Dutruch, has been very supportive of this plan and I appreciate his encouragement!
If all goes well, we are hoping to close on the land before the end of the month!
Please continue to pray that God’s will is done!
