Now back to our program...

HellllOOOOOO.....

We are very sorry for the time that has lapsed from our last post. Life has certainly been busy and eventful! Lets get right to it. Our first order of business....

We have met our financial goal and will be departing for Jamaica on December 14th!!!! We thank you all a million times and more for your generosity, support, and love. God has certainly shown his faithfulness through you all and we praise Him for it!

Second. Our working permit is processing (so please continue to pray that it goes through and that we will get the fee exemption!). We believe that it we will be granted the permit, hence the reason we purchased tickets, but the fee exemption is a not so sure of a thing... We were told by Pastor Allen that we should find out this week or early next week about the details of our permit request and should go ahead and book the tickets now.

Side Note: We traveled to the Philadelphia Airport yesterday to lobby the airline monsters to grant us a free pass on some excess luggage. Not only did we see Allen Iverson arriving in Philadelphia (literally 3 feet from "The Answer") but we were granted our request!!! We praise God because we were told by the Spirit station manager that given the time we are leaving and where we are going we have practically no chance! God had other plans.... We praise Him for his faithful and we are thankful that we will not have to put many of our things on an ocean freighter or send it through the mail.

Lastly, stay tuned...we will be sending out our latest newsletter and some other updates via email.

We love you all and are thankful for you!

Grace and peace,
Jon and Kirsten
