Update: 6/22/09

We have a couple of prayer requests as of today:

1. That we will be able to raise support for the trip (we are talking to the church and Sunday school classes at Grace in the next week or so)
2. That all the paperwork we need to go get our visas will get to us soon
3. That we will be able to get set up with an apartment in Bogota (we are working with the school to accomplish this)

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers and we look forward to updating everyone as we get closer!

If it is God's plan for us to go we will be leaving in 35 days!

El Camino Academy

Again, I am hoping that through a couple of different technology avenues Jackie and I will be able to keep everyone up to date on what is going on in Bogota. But, first we have to get there! Our tentative date for leaving is July 26th (this is for 10 days of orientation before the school year starts). We are trusting that God will provide the financial support that we need in order to cover our start up costs.

A couple of prayer requests we have of today are:
- That we are accepted by El Camino Academy by the end of the week
- That we raise our prayer and financial support for our start up costs and monthly needs
- Start praying for Jackie as we are hoping she does not have any physical problems with her heart due to the altitude
- That we receive our passports in the next week and that all our visa paperwork goes through without a problem
- That we find someone to rent our town home for the year

We will let you know how the process is going. If we are accepted by the school then we will receive the information we need from the sending agency in regards to our financial support.

Thanks and have a great night!
