A Step Forward?

In the last blog were waiting for the Mpika city council to meet on Feb 6th. That meeting took place as scheduled. I traveled to Mpika to attend the meeting and interviews regarding our application. The interview went very well but the meeting was inconclusive. We were told to wait for the "full"council meeting to be held March 31st. ........    So again we waited.

March 31st came and the meeting was postponed to the following week.          So we waited.

The following Monday the meeting did take place but it turned into a two day meeting and finally concluded on Tuesday.

When I phoned on Friday they told me that the application had been approved.  Praise God for that. Unfortunately they were not able to tell me when the letter of recommendation would be ready. I will make a follow up phone call in the next week or so.

When the letter is ready we will travel to Mpika to collect all the papers and bring them back to Ndola for approval.

So we may have actually taken a step forward. I hesitate to get too excited until we actually have the papers in hand but at least there seems to be a trickle of light showing through at the end of this long tunnel of waiting.

Thank you to everyone for all your prayers. Please continue to stand with us in prayer.

God bless you all
