This week I contacted the lawyer's office in Australia and they said they were going to find out from the immigration office about our visa. The lawyer's secretary said she would contact me with any word. As of right now, I have received no word from her. Please continue to pray with us that the Lord would provide the visas, and that He would give us patience as we wait.
As we wait for the visas, we have had the opportunity to minister in our sending church. This has been a great blessing. We have been gone for so long on deputation, and it is nice to spend some time in our home church and get to know the people more. Also, we have had the opportunity to meet our new Senior Pastor. Pastor Paul Rebert has been serving at First Baptist for about three weeks or so, and we have had the opportunity to get to know he and his family. The Lord has used this time to grow us and encourage us through our sending church and our supporting churches as well.
Thank you so much for checking this site for updates. We praise the Lord for your interest, and your prayers. We hope to be able to share the news soon that we have been approved for visas to Australia. Stay Tuned!!
