Visas Have Arrived

About a week ago we finally received our visas to Indonesia. Praise God! As you know this has been a long and frustrating journey to get to this point, but finally they are here. We have a flight to Indonesia booked for April 1. Open the Newsletter to see what comes next!

And… We’re Pregnant

Many of you have already heard the news that Kali is pregnant, which is absolutely a blessing from God. It does, however, present complications with our journey to Indonesia. Read the newsletter to find out more.

Support this Ministry!

With this encouraging news you can be confident that your support will make a significant impact on this ministry! Please consider sending in a special to help offset the costs of moving back to Indonesia. Let’s face it, moving a whole family across the world is not cheap. The costs of air fare, quarantine, luggage, and visas all add up. The ministry is worth the cost, the effort, and it’s worth your support. Your partnership will impact eternity!
