Hello Prayer Partners,
Praise the Lord! Celebrate with us as you hear what God has done!
Good News #1:
Last Monday, we had our visa appointment at the Italian Consulate in Miami, where we submitted our paperwork for our visa to enter Italy. They said it could be several weeks before we heard back from them with the results. Then suddenly, last Friday, we received our passports back in the mail. Upon looking inside, we discovered that we received our 1-year visa with multiple entries, and it only took them three days!
Good News #2:
Today, we learned that our team leader received a verbal agreement on a two-bedroom apartment that he found for us. It is on the 5th floor of an apartment building near the city of Bologna. This apartment is 10 minutes from the International airport, has easy access to public transportation, and is within 10 minutes walking distance of the language school we hope to attend. God has been incredibly gracious in not only providing this apartment before our arrival but giving us three things we didn’t think we would have in Italy: a dishwasher, a bathtub, and kitchen cabinets.
Next Steps #1:
We have purchased our plane tickets and will be flying from Orlando to Italy on January 11. We’re starting to get excited as our long-awaited move to Italy is becoming a reality. We look forward to being closer to North Africa so that we can better serve our members living there.
Next Steps #2:
We are so grateful for the Lord’s provision over the past 21 years for our financial support needs for our family. As we prepare to relocate overseas, we continue to raise funds to cover the cost of our plane tickets, visa costs, household setup, and language school.
