Dear Brothers and sisters of the Landover Baptist Church
and all the True Christians™ of Freehold,
Genesis 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
I want to say thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak.
It's now 5 years since I was escaping to the States and working in the Real Estate business with the focus on Freehold. Since Europe has become a muslim nation I am very thankful that this Bible believing community has giving me the opportunity to make business here and some money.
1 Kings 5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
Well first I want to say that I think that Mayor Jonny Hold has done a really fantastic job while he is in Government.
But now I want to speak about the real estate in Freehold and for better incentive that we need to get more construction going.
Freehold, Iowa is home to the largest church in North America - Landover Baptist. I can tell you from very personal knowledge Freehold has no construction right now.
And we're not only talking about Churches there are many.
We're talking about high income housing and houses for Pastors.
Incentive has to be put back into the construction. We've had the lowest numbers of Churches build since 1946 and 1947. Of course the volks that represent the country did their tribute to the problem that we now have.
Haggai 1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
I've talked to so many good people in Freehold and I talked to God during my prayer sessions and they all say the same word.
Depression. And I truly feel that this country now is in a depression. It's not a recession people are kidding themselves if they think it's a recession. You look at what's happening in the automobile business in the retailing businesses in any part of the country virtually is a total disaster.
So I came to this forum and I wanted to answer questions but I wanted to discuss these things. Something has to be done and some things have to be changed for certain types like building new Churches.
I think depreciation schedule should be very severely limited cut so that people have incentive to build new Churches in Freehold.
One of the big things that we don't have today that we used to have was a very good thing for real estate is having good and nice tax shelters.
And if you are a Pastor in Freehold and you make 2 or 3 Million a year and you can't invest in real estate anymore. Better tax shelters for Real Estate in Freehold would be a very good thing.
People with money like the Pastor, the Dentist, the Christian Doctors have to have the incentive to invest. Landover Bapist Church desperately needs new Churches and a new Golf course. Every city needs Churches and Golf courses especially Freehold.
I recently talked with a very respectable man who has the biggest construction company in Freehold called "Jesus Constructions" and he said they have not one building planned in Freehold for the next two years.
So I just was asked to come to this forum and I want to make this plea that we bring back nice tax shelters and incentive for the real estate buisness. I mean we are no different to the Vatican. They have no incentive and we have no incentive.
Exodus 27:1 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits.
