Dear Friends,
We have as of today been issued our work visas to teach english in Ufa, Russia. We are so very grateful for those of you who are partnering with us and "holding that rope" as we engage God's precious people in Ufa. Most of you know we have been waiting since June for the process of getting visas to end, so we praise God for His perfect timing. The waiting has been good for us, although it has been easy to get impatient at times. Thanks for praying us through this time. God has been faithful.
As of now we are scheduled to fly out next Wednesday, September 9th. The next week will be filled with packing, packing and re-packing.
"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." -Ephesians 3:20-21
Prayer highlights:
- That we will honor God in our final preparations for moving to Russia and trust Him with all details.
- That we and our children will transition well and be ready to follow God's will for this next phase of our lives.
- That God would raise up key leaders to engage in the move toward house churches in Ufa.
Hurray! Looking forward to seeing what the Lord will be doing in you and among the nations.
ReplyDeleteWow! One week!
ReplyDeleteHoping the packing goes smoothly, praying the transition does too. =)
Man that is great! I sure wish that I could see you all off. God bless you and may He watch over you as you joyfully and obediently go out to make Him known.
