STRICTLY BUSINESS – KIND OF
As many of you know, Amy Gomes, a faithful reader in our community, mortgaged her home in order to finance the first ever school for handicapped children in Ukraine. That school is a great success (Hope Haven Ukraine) and a wonderful sign of God’s goodness in a world where these children are too often terribly neglected.
Amy made this decision because God’s hand was on her heart. Now she faces a balloon payment on this mortgage. She would like to refinance the home for another 10 years. Her business (she is the CEO of a pediatric therapy business for handicapped children in central Florida) is doing well. Her income is not in jeopardy. But the housing market in Florida is in shambles and the bank has refused to refinance her property.
So, I am turning to you. Perhaps you are a banker. Perhaps you have a connection to mortgage funding. Perhaps you are an investor. Perhaps you know someone who can help. Perhaps this is God’s opportunity for you to make a difference for these children and support Amy’s faithfulness.
Amy needs a $135,000 note at 8.5% over 10 years (or some combination like this) by October. This is NOT a request for charitable donations. This is strictly business – legal contracts, etc. – but it is God’s business too. Why should she lose her house for doing what God asked of her? Why would we stand by and not help her?
So, if you are able to assist, in any way, please let me know. This is what the At God’s Table community does. It helps wherever it can.
Thank you, one and all.
Amy is at amygomes58@gmail.com
You know where to find me.

THIS SEEM LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GLENN BECK’S MERCERY ONE MINISTRIES. WHY NOT CONTACT THEM. WE ARE IN OUR 80s & CAN NOT AFFORD TO HELP, BUT THIS JUST MIGHT BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET INVOLVED WITH.
BLESSINGS, IN THE LOVE & POWER OF CHRIST,

Why not contact Glenn Beck’s ministry, Mercrey One. This just might be the kind of ministry they are looking for to help. We are in our 80, so can not help, but in prayer, this suggestion came to mind.
Blessings in the mighty NAME of JESUS!

<> I’m going to tread very carefully here and believe me, I’d rather not write at all. My heart is big for children and big for doing things for others. I LOVE the work she is doing!!!! But I can’t shake something, based on my own personal experience. I need to ask why you/she believes that God would ask her to go into debt in the first place? Are you saying that God asked her to mortgage her home for this?? Or are you saying that God asked her to do something and she chose a mortgage as a way to accomplish it? There is absolutely NO JUDGEMENT in my asking these questions. Your words just stuck out enough for me to be compelled to ask. IN the meantime, I am praying for a resolution!
it’s ok if the previous comment doesn’t get published…..we can make this a private answer (see post earlier) – in fact that would be better. thanks!
