Upward Movement

Well, a lot has happened since my last post.:
1. Jason, through Cold Water Intl., and EMI is working on a special Africa project….stay tuned for details.
2. We are now at 82% of our needed monthly support. PRAISE GOD! It’s so neat to see how He is working and moving. Speaking of moving…
 3. We have an accepted contract on our house. Woo-Hoo! We are set to close at the end of March and will be out by the 31st.

Please continue to pray for us during this time. We don’t know where we will be living come April till our May departure. But we also don’t know where we will be living in Arequipa either. We are praying God will be preparing safe, affordable housing for us there. My “cherry on top” request is that it would also be quite close to a park or some semblance of a green space. We also need it to be close to our kids’ school. That is another prayer request. . .
We have applied for admission to a local academy in Arequipa but have not yet heard if they will make room for them. We also need the kids to be accepted as “alumnos libre”. 

Basically that means that they will not be enrolled with the Dept. of Education and therefore exempt from certain classes so that we can supplement with US standard classes.

Housing in Arequipa

Our friend, Sue Querfeld, had given us this
very good advice last March when
we were visiting there. They did a great job of  
navigating their children through the Peruvian
school system. God willing, we will be able to do the same.
