Lets start this right away by stating the fact that I (Kimmo) am not a writer, but I will do my best to paint a truthful picture with my words, and hopefully some photos.
This is the beginning of our process to have our own house.
We have a dream of how our house should look like, and we hope to see this dream of ours happen as soon as possible.
What makes our process a little bit different from most other house build processes is that we work as Missionaries with YWAM (Youth With a Mission) and do not receive a steady salary, but our income is based on volunteer support from churches and individuals.
With how our finances are set up, we can not look for a loan at a bank to build our house, but we will trust in God, that he will provide the funds so that we can see our dream come through.
Right now we are looking at an architect to draw our house and to file all the needed permit applications with I don’t know how many different places here in Costa Rica.
We have a piece of land to build on, and need the permits to start our process of building. Start, I said, since we do not have all of the funds to finish the whole house, so we will move in faith! (A big step for us, but we are glad that you are here with us, either just observing or maybe praying, or maybe even considering a donation toward our dream)
For the ones who do not know how we live right now, I will just tell you shortly. We have a rented house; it is about 400 square feet (about 40 m2), and as a family of 4 it feels a little bit tight, especially when we have guests, not to talk about when people would like to visit us from back home (Sweden or Finland).
I will continue writing regularly (whenever we have something to tell), I hope you enjoy walking with us through this experience.
