S e p a r a t e d . . . still waiting.

Isa. 26:2-3 - 

“Open the gates that the right'us nation may enter, 

the nation that keeps f'th.  

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, 

because they trust in you.”

More Surprises!!

This month brought more unexpected events our way...  On the 22nd, we received a certified letter from the government in our city stating that Andrew had to be in-country to apply for residency by March 2 or his visa would be revoked!  Plane tickets were purchased the following day and Andrew flew out on Saturday the 25th.

Meanwhile, our family had been invited to an AWESOME conference in Ch-ton that weekend to share with people who have Dad’s work on their hearts.  Andrew had to leave during the conference, but I was able to stay and share with over 200 people about what Dad is doing in our city and the opportunities we have to share there!

Reality Check

Honestly, the kids and I have been struggling with being left behind.  It’s been really hard to be separated during this time when it seems like everything is changing.  We still have no word on what’s going on with our visas.  I’m SO glad Dad knows.. cause we have no clue!

Our heads are still spinning... it’s been a total whirlwind of a week!  We were asking Dad to be with Andrew as he flew overseas, stood in line to apply for residency and that He would make everything go smoothly.

... and HE DID!  Dad really did a mir-cle for Andrew- he and one of our teammates were first in line to apply on Monday.  Somehow- Andrew’s paperwork was approved in just a few hours!  (The process normally takes weeks!!)  It has been so amazing to see Dad’s hand of favor over Andrew.

     

Celebrations and Requests:

• Dad has continued to encourage us through opportunities He provides for us. We’ve gotten to spend time with family and have had many people join our pr’er team! There are a few who are considering joining us in the field!! 

• Andrew has been approved for residency!! What a mir-cle!!

• Andrew has been able to meet our teammates, attend meetings and get to know the city a little.  He’s excited to be able to help our family during transition time when we move.

• Andrew is not going to be delayed in returning to the States!  At one point, we were unsure if he would be able to return to travel with us over the ocean.  Celebrate Him!!

• Please continue to ask for our visas to come back... it has been nearly 5 months since we applied and we have not been given any information as to when we will be approved.

• Please ask Dad to help me and the kids... G has been really sick, A has been struggling with stress... Both have been much more affected by Andrew’s absence than I thought they would.  Please ask for peace for all of us.

• Please remember Andrew as he travels back to us.  He will start traveling March 3 at 10am our time and we will pick him up at 7pm our time the following day.

Thank you again for your love and support. 
I am hoping and pr’ing to be able to write our next letter from another time zone!!

Trusting in Him....               .
