  You CAN make a difference!

  Posted on December 21, 2011 by HarveyS in Uncategorized.

  Posted on November 7, 2011 by HarveyS in Uncategorized.

  Regarding the property purchase: Praise the Lord, last week we were able to give the seller of the 100 acres across the road another two million Thai baht (about US$65,000). That leaves only about $65,000 remaining to pay. This property was seller-financed, and she was quite relieved that we could give her the $65,000, even […]
