Plans need Prayer

We were supposed to leave Provideniya for Alaska at the end of this week. A fellow mission organization was going to be flying through here and had offered to bring us back at no charge. This was good as it would have saved SOAR a significant amount of funds at a time when funds are tight. Alas, before they made it here, they had to cancel the trip due to a paperwork problem with one of their passengers! SOAR is now planning on keeping our original return schedule by picking us up in the SOAR plane, but this last minute change is likewise necessitating a last minute request to Moscow for flight permission. They usually require 5 days advance notice, and we don’t have that many days! Please pray that Moscow would grant us the flight permission even on this short notice. It would be nice to keep our original schedule, and if we have to delay another week that would create some extra difficulties and costs for SOAR.

Thank you for your prayers. Hopefully my next post will be from Alaska. If we are delayed I will let you know.
