next up.....NAIROBI

Yep, the Russian embassy here in Dar es Salaam is giving us such a hard time that we are packing our bags, and heading north into Kenya to try the Russian embassy in Nairobi for our visa.

It's crazy; entering Russia should not be this hard. It reminds me of all the times that the Apostle Paul tried to go places and was hindered, but he wasn't discouraged and kept going and going, till he got there. The Lord's timing is perfect, and I still truly believe He wants me to help out with this missions school in Armavir. I'm not discouraged in the least, only more excited for what Jesus has in store for myself and the Russians down there. Prayer would still be muchly appreciated though. Thanks!

Oh, and check out the new set of links in my sidebar entitled "VIDEOS'' (right under my ''PHOTOGARPHY''). I separated all into different categories for you. Is this blog user friendly or what?!!

in Tanzania

Made it to Tanzania and have started the application process for my Russian visa. The people at the embassy are not willing (in the least) to help us out and have been very unrealistic and difficult to work with. So we struggle on, but it's not looking good for Russia. Not sure how long I will be in Dar es Salaam; my visa for tanzania is just 14 days. So decisions will have to be made shortly. Sudan and Mozambique are other options, but they are not the primary desire of mine at this point. Other than that, I'm now staying at the Holiday Hotel and paying about $12US/night.

Dar es Salaam is a fairly modern city, and not a bad place to be stuck, but I do appreciate prayer, and much of it as we try for our visas. Blessings. Hopefully my next post will be one of VICTORY!!!
