God is Still in Control

Our first hurdle with the container is over! The shippers have decided that we can load the container here in Fairbanks and ship it down to Tacoma Washington. If Maresk decides that the container needs an inspection it will happen down there. Lord willing God will take the container through right to Malawi.
Another prayer request is for our TEP, (temporary employment papers), application being approved. I was turned down Friday because they want more information on my background. Dr. Gentry, (who is in Malawi now), and I talked and he felt a personal resume' that would show my work and church history would be appropriate. The TEP approval allows us to minister in Malawi for two years without a renewal. Without the TEP means we have to get approvals every thirty days to remain in Malawi.
We also request pray in the area of electrical power. There is not any power at the new orphanage site and ESCOM, (Malawi Power), wants $282,000.00 to get power to the site. I have checked into generator/battery/solar power and a system just for our home would be around $25,000.00. I have prayed about purchasing this type of system before we go to Malawi and I believe God is wanting me to hold off on the purchase. Please pray that I would see God's direction.

Thank you for your Prayers!!
