Then I'm going to try and discern who the targeted undecideds are and make more calls. Also going to contribute to the main switchboard meltdowns.
BTW, Ace of Spade's Whip count closely follows FireDogLake's.
Prayers continue for the Republic. I read something yesterday that said "For a Christian, despair is a vice."
I'm trying to remember that.
You have no idea how timely your words are.
Caligula's economy has had a major effect on our support. We are funded by those who want to have a part in the Bible translation work on this island. But January and February were very devastating to us because some who have been partnering with us just could not maintain the same level of giving.
Therefore, I will be returning to the states in April sometime after Easter to work on developing more financial partners. Hubby will continue at the school and return in June. It is my prayer that we'll be fully funded again by the 15th of July (so paperwork will have time to clear) and we'll be able to return to Papua to continue our work in mid-August.
This is in the midst of me becoming more involved in the support work here. Just this week I helped check new publications. I've been chairing some key committees. I have developed some close relationships with the middle schoolers. Hubby keeps plugging along at his job. He is not glamourous but he is consistent, steady and very, very good at what he does. It is painful to have to extricate ourselves at this time.
Through it all, God is sovereign in what in we're going through.
I'm about warn out, not discouraged, from all these counts. I pray it will not pass!!
