Praying Friends,
Thank you for visiting our blog to check our updates. We truly appreciate all your prayers! It has been very busy lately. I was able to run our Vacation Bible School at our home church in Danville, Illinois. There were over 200 different children in attendance throughout the week, and our high day was Thursday with over 170 children. Many decisions were made for salvation, and with our buses running at capacity, many children heard the Gospel for the very first time.
Recently our lawyer has communicated with us and it looks like we are in the final stretch before application for our visas. We are adjusting our forms and signing them to be sent overnight delivery to our lawyer in Australia. Our immigration physicals are scheduled for June 25 and that will put the bow on the package for the immigration office. Please pray that the lawyer would be able to clearly apply for us, and that the immigration office would quickly approve.
We have enjoyed the extra time to spend with family and friends, but our hearts are desiring to be overseas. I had a wonderful missionary friend encourage me this week by telling me that if we can make it through this extremely long wait, we can make it through most things experienced on the field. The Lord is working, even while we wait!
In Christ,
Mark Pitts and Family
