The “normal” people would finance their first house by taking a loan at the bank, after saving enough for about 10-15% of the price. We are not sure how God wants to take care of our house build…  It will for sure be an adventure!
We have been able to get donations for about 22% of the total cost, including buying the land and getting the drawings and permits done! God has been very faithful!
Now we are stepping into the next phase of building in faith, the actual building part!
We need about $85,000 more to come in to be able to finish to build our home. And we are praying that a big part of it would come in during this year!
Maybe you could pray about if you should be part of our dream, and to go to our donations page and donate some funds towards our house build! (or for our friends in Sweden and Finland)
We are very thankful for every donation that we have received so far and every donation that we will receive!
 
We have pondered about the possibility to get a loan, but it is virtually impossible for us to get one from our banks in Sweden and Finland. And the banks here in Costa Rica have a really high interest rate, so that is not really an option (and I doubt that we qualify for those with our income being donations abroad).
 
So the only loans that might be available are loans from individual/churches/businesses/ministries. We are praying about if this would be a way God wants us to fund our house, but so far we do not have a lead on any loans.
 
It is great to be able to walk this walk with God, as He directs us. Our prayer is that we would not try to do things our way, but do things His way!
