June week 1 update

            As you are aware, we have reached our monthly quota and are still working to get the rest of the money we need for our plane tickets. You may also be aware that we needed to get all of these funds together by June 1 in order to be back in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by the beginning of July. This date has passed and every day we don’t reach our goal is a day we are delayed returning. The good news is that we have had several more gifts toward our tickets this week. We only need $3000 more to purchase our tickets. We have also been officially cleared by Wycliffe to return to PNG.

I received an email from our new supervisors in PNG today asking about our return date. There is quite a bit of work to be done before the next course. The staff is busy learning their new positions and they have not had time to look after many of the things we do. Needless to say they are anxious to have us back a soon as possible.

Your prayers have been so amazing. We can clearly see their effects on our ministry. We need you to pray that the rest of these funds will come in very quickly. We have not heard anything else about our visas either. Would you please pray that they are processed soon.
