Mosaic Land Purchase

Written By One Collective
 
 

OVERVIEW

Located in the most unreached region of the least evangelized island in the world, the local team works so that everyone in the community has access to food, freedom, and forgiveness. The region faces severe systemic challenges, including 13 Unreached People Groups, tightening Sharia law, high persecution, extreme educational deficits resulting from civil war and natural disasters, loan shark debt traps, lack of capital, waste management crises (generating 400 tons of waste daily), and poor access to affordable, nutritious food for the urban poor. Non-Muslims face severe housing limitations, with property ownership expected to become illegal for non-Muslims in the near future.

After years of prayer, the team developed a vision for a Kingdom Ecosystem consisting of local non-profits, small micro-businesses, and a foreign-owned social enterprise. At the heart of this ecosystem is a central community center located on prime land in the capital city, which the team has leased for six years. Unexpectedly, the land-owning family—who supports the team's work—offered to sell the property to non-Muslims at pre-pandemic valuation. Acquiring "The Mosaic" permanently grounds prayer, disciple-making, urban hydroponic/organic farming, waste recycling, financial literacy coaching, and sports leagues in the city center.

 

INVESTMENT SUMMARY:

  • The total purchase price for "The Mosaic" real estate transaction is $885,000 USD (adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations from the initial $1,000,000 target). Capital has been assembled through a blended capital stack:

    Funding SourceStructure / OriginAmount (USD)

  • US Donors (One Collective) Charitable Contributions $480,000

  • Zero Interest Loans: Concessional Debt Financing $250,000

  • Regional Donors: In-Country & Regional Donations $125,000

  • Visible Fund: Fully Recoverable Grant $45,000

  • Total Funding Stack: Complete Acquisition Value$885,000

  • Repayment Structure: Repayment of the $45,000 Visible Fund grant will occur if and when the underlying real estate known as The Mosaic is sold or liquidated. The grant is to be repaid at 4.5% of total sale of land, with no interest, if/when the underlying real estate is sold. 

  • Repayment Mechanism & Funds Recycling: In the event of land liquidation, proceeds corresponding to the land parcels will be deposited directly into a local business bank account and quarterly and annual financial accounting methods will be maintained. As a foreign-owned enterprise, funds will be reinvested directly into ongoing business activities in-country, satisfying local banking regulations and ensuring capital is continuously recycled for kingdom impact.

Key Metrics for Growth and Impact:

  • Property Acquisition & Strategic Security: Completes the $885,000 real estate purchase of a premier community center property in the heart of the capital city—securing property ownership in a high-persecution region under tightening Sharia law where non-Muslim property ownership faces severe restrictions.

  • Social Enterprise Scaling: Transitions the local initiative into a break-even social enterprise within 12–24 months while deploying eco-enterprises (glass/plastic shredders, biochar, bio-fuel, and upcycling).

  • Sustainable Revenue Generation: Raises $60,000 for basketball court roofing to establish a commercial court rental program, creating long-term self-sustaining revenue for the local ministry and fully repaying roof capital.

  • Micro-Enterprise Creation & Discipleship: Launches 2–4 new micro-businesses by Years 3–5 to support local kingdom workers, financial literacy, micro-startups, and urban agriculture for vulnerable populations.
