We have been 2 weeks in North America and until this morning things had been going along nicely. We spent our first 6 days in Dallas, Oregon and the next 8 days in BC, Canada. We intended to return to Dallas today and then continue on with our summer travels. Well, at the border the US border officials decided that Judith should not be in the US as a visitor even after we explained what we are there for and the time frame for our return to PNG. We are now back in Abbotsford and considering what our options are. The two options that we were given at the border are both practically impossible within our time frame so this is certainly a God sized problem.

Prayer Requests

  • Please pray for some resolution that will allow Judith to enter the US.
  • Please pray for our summer travel plans. We have a number of meetings schedule though many of those are now in question.
  • Please pray for Daniel’s re-entry program that he is scheduled to go to down in LA in early July. We were planning to be in the area at that time though I’m not sure how that will work now.
  • Please pray for the myriad of other questions that we haven’t even started to process through yet.
  • Please pray for Peace, Rest, and Encouragement.
  • Please pray for a place to stay for the days we will need to remain in BC.

In Him,

Eric and Judith, Stephen, Daniel and Timothy

PS. The picture above is of the family at the Yafe river in Malaumanda. It was our intention to discuss the Bible dedication in this update but suffice it to say that it went well and we were hugely encouraged by our time in the bush. Lord willing we will discuss that more later.
