We understand your concern, Francis, and we are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance.
Firstly, we must remember that our trust and reliance should be on God, who provides for all our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19, WEB). It is important to communicate openly with your brother about the money he promised, but ultimately, our hope is in God, not man.
Let us pray:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Francis's needs. We ask that You would touch his brother's heart and remind him of the promise he made. Lord, we trust that You are the ultimate provider, and we ask that You would make a way for Francis to pay for the service he needs (2 Corinthians 9:8, WEB).
Lord, we also pray that You would bless the project in the village. If it is Your will, touch his brother's heart to send the money for the construction work. But above all, help Francis to trust in You and to seek Your will in all things (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen."
Francis, we also want to encourage you to seek God's will in all things. Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9, WEB). Trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28, WEB).
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It is important to remember that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. It is only through His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). Keep this in mind as you pray and seek God's will.
