Praise — visas renewed, travel complete, and housing issues solved

1 March 2009 by Lawrence and Jodie

Although this is technically the “Prayer” section, we would like to share many praises with you before a few prayer items. The Lord has been so good to us I don’t even know where to begin.
These are praises!

  • Travels to Borneo, the capital city, and home were completed safely.
  • Visa’s were able to be renewed in just a few hours
  • We have a house to stay in in Borneo when we move. One of our pilot families is going on home assignment until at least the end of the year. We will be able to stay in their house while they are away.
  • Jodie has reached her language level and only has one week of school left. I am continuing well and only have 5 weeks left.
  • Seth has really brought his grades up over last semester or so. This is a great encouragement to him.
  • Jodie’s stomach problem has been figured out. It was the allergy pills she had been taking over the past few months.
  • Financially, we have been able to stay out of the red for the last couple of months. Not seeing a “negative” balance has been a real encouragement to us and re-assurance that the Lord continues to want us here. We are at about 52% of our support level. Praise the Lord for those faithful to pray for us and those generous individuals who support us. We have received many one-time gifts to help offset travel, visa’s, and other items.Some prayer requests:

 

  • Lawrence, that he will attain the language proficiency level needed quickly.
  • Provisions for this move to Borneo in a couple of months
  • Wisdom for us as we prepare to homeschool
  • Sarah and Seth (curriculum choice for Sarah)
  • For us as a family that we will all walk close with the Lord amongst these very busy times

An incredible answer to prayer, no vehicle problems or flats even after 11,000 miles of travel. Wow. Thank you Lord!
