Penggalangan dana selama beberapa tahun hanya menghasilkan sekitar USD 1 juta, padahal dana yang diperlukan jauh lebih besar dari itu. Doa dan puasa sudah dilakukan. Namun dana pembangunan tetap tidak memadai. Sebagai seorang gembala, hal ini sangat membuat Dr. Pat kehilangan semangat. Nilai tanah pada waktu itu ditaksir sekitar USD 4 juta. Doa dan puasa dilakukan lagi, permohonan diajukan ke sorga. Namun hasilnya belum ada.
Sekitar 3 bulan lalu Tuhan membukakan visi Dr. Pat dengan melihat sekitar tanah itu yang dibangun banyak bangunan komersial. Dia menghubungi seorang developer temannya. Temannya ini memperkenalkan lagi kepada seorang developer keturunan Italia. Sang developer Italia ini kemudian membagikan apa yang dilihat para ahli property atas tanah itu. Tanah itu bernilai USD 11 juta pada bulan lalu. Tiga hari lalu sudah bernilai USD 27 juta, karena di atas tanah itu bisa dibangun 3 menara kondominium, lapangan golf, teater, dan gedung gereja. Penantian Dr Pat atas penggalangan dana pada waktu lampau memang harus dilalui, karena Tuhan punya rencana yang jauh lebih baik. Inilah waktunya new season, new value, new level.
Dr. Pat hari ini jam 10.00 pagi dan besok jam 10.00 pagi akan memberikan khotbah di Kingdom of Glory Ministry di Jl. Ampera Raya, Jakarta.
