So for me, a little over a year ago, I had, through prayer and promptings from the Holy Spirit, started to feel like this mortgage is such a weight on our shoulders. Like, why are we not just getting rid of this? And there had been a couple opportunities for us to give, and I wanted to give more, and we just didn't have that ability.

We had a meeting with them at the beginning and said, this is what we're going to do. This is the amount of money. This is how long we think it's going to take. And they were on board. They said that they were willing to make the sacrifices too.
