Praise Report!

I have had such trouble writing on the blog this year, so sorry to anyone waiting for regular updates. Everything is still going strong. We're delighted by God's hand at work in our lives and thank you so much for praying. God is so good! We love Him and are so thankful for His presence.

Here's some praise from our recent prayer requests:
Derek's visa appt to go well and that the visa will be given without any difficulties -
Praise God, this was an awesome day. Only glitch being the visa given was not as long as was promised, but still it's awesome! Derek got a 10 year visa and a huge blessing from the Lord in the grace and dignity bestowed on him in the appointment!

For the purchase of our flights at a great rate
Another huge praise! We got tickets for all 5 of us for just over $4000! That's amazing.

Okay, the rest we're still bathing in prayer and we appreciate yours.
For traveling mercies on the family
For our friends here in South Africa who will be managing our home or work for us while we're away
For our time in the States to be filled with praise of God's heart for this world and special moments together in His presence with those who so faithfully pray for us and support our ministry.
