Dear Praying Friends,
I am so sorry for not updating the blog recently. There has been so much that has gone on, that honestly, it has slipped my mind. Well, where do I begin?
We received our visas on the 21st of December, and the Lord has been working on our behalf all over the place! First He has provided us with a vehicle that will meet our need of having 7 seats. Also, we have been looking online at a house to rent and we have been coming to dead ends. Each house that we applied for has fallen through until today. The Lord has provided us with a place to rent that will meet our needs and is only ten minutes from the church! These have been huge answers to prayer. Truly the Lord knows our needs before we ask Him.
The recent problem we have been dealing with has been our shipping container. There will be a possible strike taking place at the end of this month of all the shipping workers on the entire eastern seaboard. This will shut down all import and export. This strike has been pushed back twice already, once in October and the other time was in December. If we were to pack a container that would be sent out of the east coast it would get stuck in a ship yard until the strike was over, but in the mean time we would be paying extra for it while it sits in storage. The Lord has worked again in this area. We have moved our shipping date back to February 7 and we have an agent that has two companies available to ship either from the east or west coast depending on the strike.
God has been good to us. Please pray that the move goes smoothly. Now we look for tickets! Thank you so much for all your prayers.
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
