Hello prayer warriors!  Today I have found out that the last piece of the puzzle is in place for our visas.  We have sent the last bit of paperwork, and we are expecting to have our visas by the end of this month or very early in February.  That is if it is the Lord's will.  We are not trusting in the speed of the government or our lawyers, we are trusting in God.  His timing is perfect.  Thank you for your prayers for us.  The Lord is working and all glory goes to Him.
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and family

A quick update on our co-workers meeting with the immigration lawyer.  The visa process is farther along than we expected.  Praise the Lord!  Our co-worker, Don Winans, walked away with the impression that the visa process is almost to it's conclusion.  Another huge praise!  Please keep praying, God is at work.  Thank you for your prayers and support.

In Christ,
Mark and family

Last night I was able to speak with Don Winans our missionary co-worker in the Melbourne area, and he informed me on the latest news from the immigration lawyer in Australia.  The news was good in the sense that we needed something that was easily procured.  Don mentioned that he would be meeting with the lawyer on Wednesday morning, which would be Tuesday night US time, and he will give them the paperwork that they said they needed.  Please pray that this will be all they need and the visa process will pick up speed.  We do thank you for your prayers on our behalf, may God bless you greatly!

In Christ,
Mark and family
