Over the last year or two, the govt has given land to many people, and promised that they would pay the majority of the costs of building a small house. As is normal with govt officials, after giving the land the rules changed: the people must come up with the majority of the funds to build the house. It makes no sense as to who the free lands were given, as some are not that poor, so can afford to take loans to build a house. Others (like Jhansi, the single mother in this case) are very poor, and have almost no chance to pay back loans. Now the govt is putting much pressure on the poor people, that they must at least start the construction process, or the land will be taken away. For that reason RHM paid about $400 to have these pillars constructed. As a ministry, we are not able to contribute more at this time for Jhansi (she lives in a rental house, her 2 teenage children in a hostel), and there's no way she is able to do more of the construction. We are not asking for contributions for this, but asking you to pray for Jhansi and the hundreds like her, whose lands mostly sit idle because of a lack of funds.
