After nearly 4 months of praying and waiting, the work visa has been approved! You have all been a part of our prayer team and for that, we thank you! Amy and I just had a day of frustration while packing and not knowing if we were going to be able to leave on time. We emailed people, called the Papua New Guinea embassy and even called Papua New Guinea itself but no one had an answer for us. At 10:30PM, we prayed together to give our frustration to God and to put our trust in Him to provide. I went out to the computer afterwards and 6 minutes later, I get an email saying the Visa has been approved! God provides!
The waiting and praying doesn't stop quite yet though. Tomorrow, we will overnight our passports to the Papua New Guinea embassy in Washington D.C. They will then have to put the visas into our passports and mail them back to us.
Tomorrow we have a full day of packing and cleaning. Friday, we start driving to Illinois. Then a week from Saturday, we are scheduled to leave the country. That doesn't give the embassy much time to send the passports back. Please continue to pray that God will provide and we will be able to leave on time and not spend the extra money to reschedule our tickets.
Thanks so much for all your prayers! To God be the glory!
