We've been preparing and praying together for a long time. The day is growing very close when we will pack our bags for the final time and be on our way to Australia.
We have a very important prayer request for you all. We've been waiting for the church's approval as our visa sponsor so that we can apply for our visa to live and work in Australia. We just received an email from our Australian correspondent stating that the Australian government is changing (again) immigration laws and this time it will affect us. We were instructed to submit our visa application BEFORE being able to fully complete it - the church has not been approved YET and we haven't even started Clara's passport application YET. We are confident that everything is in the Lord's hands and will work out in his time.
Please pray that God will cause the Immigration Department to show favor on us, NOT throw out our application because of its incompleteness, and not to have to start it all over again waiting 2-4 more months for processing and re-paying all the application fees.
