Year of Documents

Site of New Church Building

On February 1 of last year, we were able to purchase the land in Petrovka, where we will build our new church. It was the beginning of a complicated process that you have to go through to get permission to build on the property. We have spent thousands of dollars, many hours on the road, and in government offices to meet all the requirements necessary to begin building. We have been working on the documents for almost one year. We are praying that we will receive our final approval within ten days. 
I had a surprise when I was working on my registration to stay in Ukraine last spring. It was discovered on my apartment title that my name was not spelled correctly. Also, the company that initially did the document went out of business years ago, which meant the title was null and void. So, what did I need to do? I would have to go to court to have a judge decide my cases according to the law. I had to hire a lawyer to help me. There were two separate court cases, one for the original document, and the other for changing the spelling of my name. Those court cases were in September of last year. I received one decision right away, but the other one was delayed by the judge, who said he was not ready to make the judgment until he had more information. On December 11, I went to court again, and he decided in my favor. I waited for one month and then received his official decision on January 14. Now I need to take both court decisions to another government office so that I can have a new deed for my apartment issued to me. Please pray that I can finish this document soon.
