Ministry Update: April 14, 2008


Hello,

Just a quick note and I’ll write later about what has been happening the last 2 weeks as we took time to pray and plan with our team.  We got a call today saying that our container has been taken off the ship at a port 500 kilometers from our house and they want to charge us storage from April 9th.   This is a little confusing since 2 weeks ago they told us the port authority was on strike and they didn’t know when it would come and last week they thought it might come on May 9th.

We paid to have shipped to port to port, so I would like to think the shipping company bears the expense of getting it to the port we paid to have it shipped to, before we would start owing for storage, however this is Greece and this matter requires much prayer.   It is kind of cool, in that on Saturday our team spontaneously prayed specifically that our container would come this week even though we knew it wasn’t coming until May 9th.  This seems like an answer to prayer and God doesn’t give us half-way answers to prayer (He wouldn’t be off by 500 kilometers!), so I have peace about this, but would like to involve you in the process.  

Kenn will be calling the company in the US in a few hours and really we only have 9 days left before we leave for the Philippines, so we need to straighten this out right away.

Thank you.

Blessings,

Lisa and Kenn
