Court Rules in Favor of OSU House

osu_house_pic2c1Oregon & PacNW Chi Alpha happy to report a positive judicial judgement by the Linn County Court in Corvallis in favor of the OSU Chi Alpha House, “The Pillar” in a nagging property easement dispute.

We’re hopeful this will put a peaceful end to the contention of a neighboring business started from day 1 we owned the property.

Please pray toward that end, and for the Chambers as they progress forward, and begin a fund-raising effort to pay off the House mortgage.

February 2nd– OSU Chi Alpha House Update

It’s not over. the testimony is over, but the ruling has not been made.  Based on what we heard the judge say, it does not seem the ruling will be in our favor.  That is Russ’ perception. But you never can tell. Our judge wanted to leave some time for a late agreement or compromise to be made. If no compromise can be made, then his ruling will be opened, read and will stand. Our team attemped to make renewed effort at finding a settlement midway through the trial but made no headway. We expect to hear something, or to meet again with the judge by February 24th. Please pray for Russ that he will have peace and wisdom. And again, pray that God’s will be done-whatever that is! It is his property, his ministry, his agenda. Let it be as he would have it.  Beth Chambers
