Exciting News!

Hi family and friends!!
We have exciting news! After praying and seeking guidance from others we are heading home in November for a short visit to raise support as well as visit family and friends. We have been praying for the Lords wisdom in this. We have been praying about adding to our family. We are ready to adopt but the moral code of the government here is not very reliable and so it is difficult to count on the adoption process running as smoothly as we might like. That’s okay. Things take time. We have been told the process could take up to 2 years. We would love to start that process now but in a year when we were planning on returning home to report about all the Lord has been doing, the child/children may not be ready to return with us. We will probably need a year or two depending on the current mood of the court system. So, we are heading back to America to raise support, visit Jesus’ Church: America Branch and then we will return to start the process of adoption right away. By the next visit home we will have custody of our new little one/s. The timing works well with our ministry here. During the month of December and into a little of January the base here in Arusha and as well out in Engikaret shuts down. Everyone takes that month off to visit home/supporters. It is a good time to be absent without missing too much. We are not firm on the dates yet but we are scheduling ourselves to be in the states from the beginning of November until mid/end of January. We are so excited to be able to see you and share what is going on here in person as well as hear what has been happening in your lives. Please pray that we find a great deal on our flights and also good connections with people that will want to partner in the work going on here in Tanzania. If you know of anyone or any church/ministry that would be interested in someone coming to share about the things God is doing in Tanzania, please shoot us an email or facebook message and we can start putting pieces together. We love you all and can’t wait to see you!
