Ps 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose help is in the LORD his God:
"Thank you for praying with us specifically for the added delay expense. We are so glad that the God of Jacob sent help our way through his people. Today, we officially report that we have received $16,800 from God's people. Halellujah." ~Joshua
We are praising the Lord for answering our prayer and He gets ALL the glory! We have to stand back amazed at how He works. Thank you, Lord!
I want to address our mailing situation. Many people have been asking about our mailing address and how to get mail to us. So I thought I would share how we do mail...or really, hope to do mail soon.
DR does not have mail services. We cannot receive or send mail with any postal service. We have an address (my parents' home)in the states that we have some things go to, and some people send mail to our mission ministry in Georgia. Our mission ministry takes photos of cards and letters and sends those to us, in addition to taking care of support that is sent in. Likewise, my mom sends photos of our mail as well. So far, that is all that we've been able to get.
We are working on getting an account with a courier service so that we can receive packages. And we have started the process to apply for an account with Agape Flights, a ministry that helps missionaries. Any way that we will eventually get mail or packages here in the country, we will be paying customs fees along with all the shipping costs. Customs fees are anywhere from $2-$4 a pound. The same goes for sending mail from here to the states...we don't have anything set up yet, and it will cost money to do that.
If/when we get an account set up with Agape, I will post a link with the information for sending mail to us. And if anyone wants our address in the states, so that we can at least get photos of the mail, please email us, or private message us on FB, and we can get you that address.
All of the cards and letters that we have gotten over the last few years have been a huge blessing and encouragement to us! We read each one on the photos that are sent to us and it always brings a smile to our faces. Thank you for your ministry of love to us!
