Dear Friends,
Today we have submitted all of the applications for the US visas and are blessed to have enough money to pay for them all! We are setting interview times for our group, hopefully we can all go together. Please pray for interviewers at the US Embassy who understand missions and the dedication that our group has to the Wounaan people. With these two pieces, we believe that the visas can all be approved!
We are still planning on being in the States from the end of December until the middle of February. We are scheduling presentations and opportunities to share. Please let us know if there is a group you would like us to visit in the Pacific NW. We will be in the Portland, OR area, in Idaho, Tacoma WA, and also are looking at visiting the Hopi in Flagstaff, AZ.
Our funding has been a slow go....with the approval of the visas, we will have to move quickly to purchase tickets. Putting twenty people on one plane may be a challenge during the holidays, and we want to buy the tickets as a group package. Please be in prayer, and please don't hesitate to give even small amounts as everything is helpful.
Here is our US address for tax-deductible donations:
Mercy and Peace, Inc.

Thank you for your prayers and your obedience to God. We can't do this without you!
