We have had 6 super months here and are now preparing for our next assignment: Angola!! It was 31 and 28 years ago that we sensed our first call to go, with some reminders along the way .... it would seem it has taken a life time of preparation so we are believing our great God for great things, when we eventually get there, this time on secondment to MAF Canada.
Before we depart these shores we have numerous administrative tasks to complete, in order for the Angolan government to "invite" us and provide visas. Each task takes time; its a rather torturous series of events - once completed, notarised and legalised, translated and finally authenticated we can then submit it all and be free to commence language classes, in Portugal no less - our last stays there were in the less salubrious areas, on outreach with YWAM and our boys were tiny!
So that's a brief update...we shall be in touch from Portugal, soooooon, God willing! Visas for Angola apparently take from 4-10 months, learning Portuguese might take longer.....
Until then, thanks for your prayers and kind words. More welcomed!
The Lord bless you.
