Ministry Centre - Starts 15 June
You wont believe it ......... after Deane had spent hours researching & surfing on the net (his favourite pasttime...not!) for rooms to rent, we went for a walk around the area of our apartment. We saw this sign "AFFITTO" means to rent and were writing down the number when the owner and his father came along and started unlocking it.
Over Google translate we managed to get our conversation going and Bivona the owner was very keen and interested to help us and the African migrants/refugees by allowing us to rent the room, not just a single room but a double room with great street frontage & appeal - he told us his price, Deane said it was a little high, so he dropped it by €100 straight away!
We made an appointment to go back with JD so they could negotiate a deal in Italian. When we went back, Bivona reduced the rent by another €50 and we are in the process of completing the paperwork!
It will take a few weeks to get things sorted, furniture and pamplets printed, times organised (we are going to start slowly) etc. We have already had a request from a ministry to share the cost to use the building at times we wont be using it!!
AND there is an African Childrens Ministry down the road looking for more children, which has given us the opportunity to start a Women's Ministry for the mums while the children are looked after!
