I'm always talking about the Philippines. My students even keep asking me, "So teacher when are you going to leave us?" Well, every day I am one step closer to making it a reality.
In the last two weeks I have solidified travel dates for the short term visit, talked to a travel agent about it, opened a ministry specific account, and worked toward filling out the sending agency application.
"But, Christine, what does all of that mean?"
Well, I had to wait for the new account card to come, but tomorrow I will be calling the travel agent back to officially book the flight. I will most likely be going December 6th - January 14th. Flight availability might change it by a day or two.
Although they would not yet be tax deductible donations I have a separate account set up if anyone would like to start sending me financial support to include the short term trip.
Also, by the end of the week I hope to have the sending agency application sent in. If I am approved, meaning that my vision fits within their mission, I will get deputized to begin officially raising tax-deductible funds. This organization would also be another way I would be able to stay connected to you all as my supporters.
Most importantly what all of this means is I have several specific prayer request:
*For details of the flight to be easy to figure out
*For financial support to start coming in
*For guidance in being true to myself and reality in filling out the application
*For patience through the approval process
*For the process to be smooth and painless
*Also for smooth transitions in the next 3 months for me
