Dear Friends,
When we wrote our last update in July, we asked that you all would pray for our work permit to be approved, and God has answered your prayers! Our work permit came last week. With the work permit in hand, we are now able to enter Zambia and begin our work at ACU. We have booked flights for Zambia on the 7th of September. Flights out Dallas-Fort Worth are about half the price of flights out of Seattle so we will fly from Seattle to Dallas-Fort Worth on the 5th September. Lord willing by this time next month we will be in Zambia.
Over the next few weeks, we have quite a busy schedule spending time with folks in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington while trying to get everything packed up. We also have a number of business items to wrap up here in the US and get started in Zambia. Every time we check a task off our to-do list it seems that we add two more tasks. We would appreciate your prayers that we might use these last few weeks in the US wisely. That we would be able to wrap everything up in good order and that we might be able to spend some quality time with family and friends during these last weeks.
Thank you everyone so much for praying for us, we have seen God answer these prayers again and again over the last year and it has been so encouraging during this time of transition!
Lord willing the next letter we write will be from Zambia!
In Christ,
The Madsens (Isaac, Faith, Korinne, Dietrich, and Esther)
Prayer requests:
That the van would run for another ~800 miles. (It has started loosing coolant)
That God would bless these last few weeks with family and friends.
That the flights to Zambia would go well.
