UPDATE: Passports...One Here and One on the Way

We hoped to get this update posted over the weekend but kept waiting for some definitive news about Debbie's passport. After spending $49 for the requested marriage license and express mail fees, an agent from the passport center contacted Debbie (last Friday) saying they did not need the license after all. She could not understand why the first agent requested it.  She promised to process the passport and have it in the mail that day.  It finally mailed out today!!

Mike did receive his passport yesterday and is quite proud of it. 

God continues to bless us abundantly with prayer and financial support.  We are only $1000 short of our need and have so many prayer warriors committed to praying for us, both now and during our trip. We cannot tell you how it thrills our hearts to hear you tell us you are praying for us.  Friday, one of Debbie's preschool children (from the Bible study at church) told her he prays for us every day. What a blessing!

The excitement within our hearts is building, as we anticipate this trip. As we have watched God work in amazing ways, the past few weeks, we have no doubt that He has indeed called us on this mission. Some people think we are crazy, some worry about our safety, but we are confident that God has chosen us to go...and we can hardly wait!

Please pray for speedy mail delivery of Debbie's passport. Once the passport is received, we will be able to book our airline tickets then mail everything off to MAF, in Idaho, so they can request our visas. We need about two weeks from the time we send this information until we will receive our visas. Yes, time is short but we know God is the Master Timekeeper.  Additionally, please pray for the remainder of our financial support.  We are confident God will provide.  He has provided over $4000 in just under three weeks. Another thousand will be no problem for Him.  For more information on how to join our team, check out our previous blog "The Opportunity, Needs and How You Can Join Our Team",
