We are officially in final month before we depart. Time is ticking away and we are starting to finalize everything for our trip. My list of "to-dos" is shrinking but there are still a couple of things that we can use your prayers about.
1) First and greatest of all is our Work Visa. Everything is together now and we are submitting our 3rd application for a Visa in the next couple of days. We cannot leave the country without this so please pray hard this week that the Papua New Guinean official who looks at the application will approve it without hesitation! We are trusting in God to provide our needs but this particular situation is starting to make us nervous.
2) We are selling one of our cars to my sister which is a blessing because we won't have to pay monthly payments but it also adds some complications. We have already purchased our plane tickets to Illinois but now that we are selling the car, we have to drive it to Illinois. Right now I am trying to get a refund for our non-refundable plane tickets so we aren't out $320!
3) Our 2nd car is staying here but it has a minor oil leak in it that needs to be fixed before we leave. If anyone knows a mechanic that will fix an oil leak for cheap, let us know! Just another expense before we leave.
4) All the other small expenses that will add up before we leave such as suitcases, a laptop, immunizations, etc.
Thanks so much for all your prayers and support. This trip couldn't happen without each of you. Thanks for sharing in our ministry and please continue to pray for the work visa to go through!
If you know someone who would like to see us before we leave, here is our speaking schedule:
July 10 - Augusta Church of the Nazarene
July 17 - Auburn Church of the Nazarene
July 24 - Gardiner Church of the Nazarene
July 31 - Eureka Church of the Nazarene (Illinois)
Our Sunday evenings are free currently if anyone would like to schedule us to speak on one of those days.
God Bless
