Departure Date - Aug 6

We have a departure date!  We have been praying for the Lord to guide our steps and make the path clear.  Yes, I would consider this a “Red Sea” moment! 

We are trusting in the Lord and His perfect timing.

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

We will head to Portugal to begin our language study on August 6th.  We purchased one-way tickets because there are still a few things that may prevent us from heading directly to Africa from Portugal.  However, we feel that it is important to make this first step in preparing for our ministry in Angola.  

Some of the things that still need to be worked out:

• The sell of our home.  There is some interest in our home but it isn't under contract.

• Visas - This can take an indeterminate amount of time.  Even though the process has improved, there are no guarantees that they will be ready in time.  They may require       us to appear in person at the consulate before departure to Angola.

• Funding - We are currently at 45% of our monthly support.  Due to some supporters who have already started making donations to our ministry (some for over a year now), we have been able to purchase items that we need to send in our container and also have some money in our account.  However, the money in this account combined with the current level of donations will not sustain us throughout the 6 months in Portugal.

• Container - We plan to have our container to port BEFORE we head to Portugal.  However, if this does not occur, then we may have to make other arrangements.

The Lord is aware of these needs and He has it all under control.  We ask you to join us as we pray for the concerns listed above and the new problems that will arise.  I ask that you also pray for my family as we transition to a new country and culture.  Especially pray for my daughters as they leave behind friends and family.  They both love the Lord but it can be especially tough for children.  Pray also for our family that we leave behind. 

But for now, we give Him praise for taking us to the next step in our ministry.  He continues to provide for all of our needs and has brought us to this point in His time not ours.  Pray that we continue to wait on His timing with all of “our” plans.  

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope (wait) in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

In Him,

Danny & April
