A Trio of Miracles

Dear Prayer Warriors,

After taking a week to recuperate from Cameroon, we began to make preparations to leave for Russia and quickly met a series of hurdles:

- The Russian Visa system had changed since our last trip. An application that formerly took us about 30 minutes to complete now required over four hours. Also, we had been warned that there might be significant delays in receiving a response to the application - this with just a few short weeks until our scheduled departure date.

- September is historically a difficult month for mission organizations financially. Additionally, we had increased medical bills due to my hospital stay in Cameroon and consequent follow-up visits with physicians in the States. Coupled with this dilemma, several opportunities for ministry presented themselves due to cancellations by other mission teams to this same region.

- Upon returning to the States, I scheduled an appointment with my physician to have a check-up after the illness I experienced in Cameroon. He then referred me to a cardiologist. There was a chance that I might need to wear a heart monitor for a few weeks before receiving a clear bill of health from my physicians which also would have delayed our departure date and/or limited the scope of ministry I would physically be able to perform once in country.

To be honest, in the flesh we did not see how these hurdles could be overcome in the five short days left before our departure. However, we prayed. . .you prayed. . .and GOD intervened with a trio of miracles this week!

- God miraculously provided the funds for us to not only fulfill our own responsibilities but also none of the other ministry programs will have to be cancelled. This mission trip is not only fully funded, but we will be able to bless Russian churches, conferences, and seminaries as well.

- The cardiologist cleared me for a full ministry schedule and provided Eleanor with tips on how to help me stay healthy while in the midst of a rigorous speaking schedule.

- When we returned home from the doctor's office, a package containing our Visas was waiting for us on our doorstep.

Our sponsors in Russia are both amazed and praising God for these miracles. God, in accordance with His great mercy and awesome power, has clearly told us to GO. And we are eager to respond in obedience to His direction!

Over the next five days, Eleanor and I will be packing boxes, preparing messages, and readying ourselves for another series of conferences, one-on-one discipleship sessions, and pastoral trainings. Please continue to partner with us in asking God to go beforehand to bless His message and His messengers. Your prayers make a difference!

By His mercy,
II Corinthians 4:1
