Passports & 40%

Kelly and the girls passports came today, I was surprised that it took so long to get them. When Taylor and I had to get them a couple years ago we got them within just a couple of weeks. This time it took 5 weeks almost 6 to get them. The important thing is that we now have them and now we are ready to get our visas, which we plan to order just after the first of the year if not sooner. I am very happy to say that at this time we have received or been promised just over 40% of our support need. We are not quite half way there but it is starting to get exciting. I also wanted to let you know that we have another scheduled speaking engagement. We will be speaking at Calvary Baptist Church in Xenia on Jan 17th during the A.M. worship service which starts at 10:30 a.m. Feel free to stop in and visit, I am sure that the church will welcome you. I also have a meeting this week with another Christian Business owner and 2 more Pastors. So keep praying that the money will continue to come in and that those who I talk with will be receptive to our ministry.
