Update on our Preparations and Visa Success

A number of things have been progressing since the last time we updated the website, the most pressing issue which we mentioned, regarding our visa entry for the lecture phase of the DTS:

VISA – We are very please to report, that our application for an ESTA Visa Waiver has been approved, which give us permission to travel to the US. The Visa Waiver is the way most British citizens travel to the US on holiday, but can also be used for business/voluntary work, and gives us 90 days in the US which covers the lecture phase of our DTS (click here to find out more about what a DTS is).

NEWSLETTER – We recently produced a paper newsletter to help get the word out. The content is very similar to the website and is really aimed at those who don’t find checking websites that easy. It can be opened or downloaded by clicking here. Please feel free to send this to anyone you think may be interested.

Grace Community Church, Cornwall

SENDING CHURCH – Last week we had the pleasure of being able to go back to my (Liam) home church in Cornwall, Grace Community Church in Morval, Cornwall. We had a great time meeting with their global missions team, who were hugely encouraging to us and confirmed that they will be providing prayer support for us as a sending church for which we are hugely grateful.

FUNDS – With the events of the past few weeks behind us, we are gaining a stronger sense of the Lord’s hand in our preparation and this sense is filling us with complete faith in Gods goodness, giving us no doubt at all in His ability and desire to take care of all our needs. Through our saving plan and the incredible generosity of a number of friends we miraculously have half of the course fees for DTS. We still have approximately another £6500 to raise. If you are planning to support us in this way or feel led to support us monthly in missions we are asking people to consider letting us know ahead of time on our pledge form so that we can begin to budget for the costs ahead, this would help us hugely.
