Paraguay Trip – Update

This week marks the first of two funding deadlines for our summer trip to Paraguay. The really, really, really, really cool part is that we met our goal!!!!!

I know I shouldn't be surprised – after all, we do serve a HUGE God – but this is one of the few times where all the funds come in without us having to pitch in some…. wow… I'm still reeling from the glory of God!!!

 


 More Information

I can't remember what all I've shared so I'll give an update on everything that has happened over the last month. Laughing

First off, we have a team!! This is a HUGE answer to prayer as we really wanted someone to come with us on the trip. The first couple we asked thought they would be able to come, but things changed and they had to drop out.  

God led us to another couple (who, amazingly enough, was the couple my bride thought of originally). This couple not only agreed to come – but has already received enough funds for their plane tickets!!!!

Secondly, we received an email from the pastor in Paraguay asking us if we could come in July instead of June. As such, we are in the middle of trying to re-schedule everything. Luckily, we receive this new information BEFORE we brought plane tickets. Smile[@more@]

Third, we have our Paraguay visasand they are good for the life of our passports!! This is another HUGE blessing!  (especially as it was total unexpected!)

When we submitted our visa, there was an option for a single entry or a multiple entry visa. Since we wanted to leave the country and visit Argentina while down there, we all picked the multiple entry visa – thinking it meant we could enter Paraguay multiple times within a 90 day period.

However, God knew we were going to have to move our trip – 'cause when we got our passports back, the visas were good for multiple entries into Paraguay for the life of the passport!  (i.e. you can enter multiple times for 90 days at a time)

Fourth – Wait…uh? oh yea – I don't have a fourth point… That's it folks – more to come as the Lord moves.Laughing
