Visas and Shipping

To all of you who have been waiting for news and asking for updates... thanks for your patience. We have marching orders! If the Lord wills, Sean and I will travel to Livingstone, Zambia in January to locate houses (or apartments) for our two families; travel to Lusaka to submit our work permit applications; fix whatever must be (and can be) fixed on the houses; and then head home in time for the True Church Conference at Grace Life Church, Feb. 19-22. After the conference, we will head out for our new home.

Here's what we're doing in the the meantime:

1. Scrambling to evaluate and choose from six different bids from companies to ship a 20' container (about the same dimension as a typical parking space) (to be shared by both families) from Muscle Shoals, Alabama to Livingstone, Zambia.

2. Gathering all the required documents to submit with our work permit applications.

3. Finishing applications for missionary visas for each family member.

That's it for now. Please pray with us that the Lord will move ahead of us to prepare the way through every hoop we must jump through and that He alone will establish us in Zambia.
