\"IndexOpen-144233d\"On Wednesday (2\/3) we put an important packet of paper work in the mail and sent it to Papua New Guinea.\u00a0 Our NTM\u00a0co-workers\u00a0will take the paper work, which included our application for work permits and visas, and hand them in to be processed.\u00a0 <\/strong>Everything has to be just right in order\u00a0for the application to be accepted.\u00a0 Pray that we would find favor in the eyes of\u00a0whoever processes our applications!\u00a0 We have been told that it could take as little as three weeks for our work permits to be authorized, but don\u2019t know how long it will take for our visas to be granted.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Once we have our visas in hand we can purchase our plane tickets.\u00a0 We are believing God for the necessary funds to make this purchase just as soon as our paper work has been finally processed.\u00a0 Please pray with us that the Lord would make this provision in full and quickly so that we will have ample time to find the best ticket prices.<\/p>\n

March 18th<\/sup> the Next Big Event:<\/strong><\/em> Gary and Jennifer Blanchard, a couple from our sending church here in Michigan, have opened their home to us so that we can present our ministry in a small group setting to interested people here \u00a0in our home town.\u00a0 We have done this before on three different occasions in different homes in the area.\u00a0 Each event has been a huge success.\u00a0 We have been able to present a clearer picture of what it means to plant a church in an isolated tribal location.\u00a0 Everyone has had plenty of opportunity to ask all their questions and, besides good fellowship, those who have participated have left feeling very informed and challenged about missions and confident in the Lord\u2019s direction in our lives.\u00a0 It has really been encouraging for us to be able to interact with the Church in this way.<\/p>\n

March 19th<\/sup>: <\/strong><\/em>Richard and Joyce Eide\u00a0 will be opening their home\u00a0 to us also so that we can share with people from our home church.\u00a0 There will be an opportunity for people to signup at church to attend.\u00a0 We are praying that there are more people interested than we have space for so that we have to schedule some more events like this.\u00a0 Could you pray for a lot of interest with us!\u00a0 We are confident that this is the way to help people understand more clearly what reaching the unreached is all about.\u00a0 We are excited for what God can do in our church through this opportunity.<\/em><\/p>\n

March 26th:<\/strong><\/em> Mark and Amy Blackgrove, another couple from our sending church, attended one of our small group ministry presentations last year.\u00a0 They were so challenged and encouraged by our time together that they asked if they could host us in their home so that more of their friends could hear.\u00a0 Of course we are delighted for the opportunity.\u00a0 Could you pray for us on these dates particularly<\/strong>, that we would be able to communicate clearly, that we would be able to answer questions wisely and thoroughly and that hearts would be challenged and encouraged about missions.\u00a0 We are confident that as we clearly share how the Lord has challenged our hearts from His word, others will be challenged too.\u00a0 This may result in a greater number of people praying and supporting us as we go.\u00a0 The Lord could also challenge people to become our co-workers on the mission field!!\u00a0 You never know.<\/p>\n

More Opportunities for You:<\/strong><\/em> We are currently working with two other families to organize more opportunities like these to present our ministry.\u00a0 We will communicate with you as these plans develop.\u00a0 Please come and join us!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
