Update

God is so faithful!  Great things He has done! He alone will receive the glory, honor, and praise.  God is beginning a new work, and we are so excited to be on this journey with Him and following His lead.  Our plane tickets have been purchased with a departure date of March 4, 2013.  This is where we have been and our present state:

7We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.b This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. 8We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.10Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

Not our will but Yours be done Lord.  Although we are awaiting our visas approval, we know that He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it.

Please pray; no really pray.  God is doing a work.
