Still here!

Well, we didn't leave last night! But by faith we are leaving tonight! We are still waiting on a letter, but we are believing we will have it tonight! God has showed so many ways why we had to stay over one day that has NOTHING to do with a letter! He is so faithful! John reminded me this morning that very few people get to see the visible hand of God work in front of their faces and that it is a blessing to do so, and I have to agree! In the middle of it, it doesn't see like a blessing, but truly it is!

I also can't explain how awesome it is to see the BODY of Christ work! The families that are with me have all played a vital role in all that has occured this week! What a blessing to work with such people!

So keep praying! Our Country Director has just left, after being prayed over, to meet with officials! We have MANY people working in our favor right now! So he is headed to town to meet with them. Our specific prayer is that we get the letter by noon here (7am central time there) as we need to leave for the airport by 3.

May god only receive the glory for the work we are doing here! There will be more to come! If you are a part of Red Letters Campaign, and you need a place to "Bleed", we have it here! We have people we can support that are going to school and need a place to live, we have children in homes who need schooling.....the need is overwhelming! E-mail me for a list of needs (there are many that are NOT adoption related) and I will see that your funds get where you want them to go!

Hopefully you will see a post in a little bit that says we are headed to the airport!

Sounds like you are experiencing "Pure Joy!" The Lord will prevail, he will have Victory. Amazing is his faithfulness and we admire your strength and courage.

Can't wait to hear all the ways God has shown Himself mighty in your time in Liberia!
I would like to talk more with you about the needs you have seen and ways our church could possibly help out-
Praying you are on the plane!
