Suddenly! Things happens!
And we’re certainly not familiar
with that.
Regardless that “suddenly” happens 87 times in the Bible,
our lifestyle has been more of the “wait
on the Lord” experience - till now! Without warning “suddenly” erupted and overflowed in the
Hauger house!
After months of working on applications and more months
waiting on USCIS to make decisions on
Henry’s USA immigration paperwork, we
felt eternal but not divine. Then suddenly,
his EAD card
appears which led to a sudden SS#, which provides opportunity to
pursue his medical insurance.
At the same time, Henry’s travel documents suddenly
arrived and we are able to travel back
to Kenya for 6 weeks. Also, Tavin suddenly
got accepted at college with a scholarship to study
Sports and Recreation
Ministry. Taleah got a driving permit and a car.
With all these suddenly occurrences, we scrambled to make plans; here they are:
With all these suddenly occurrences, we scrambled to make plans; here they are:
June 20 - Drive to Sante Fe deal with more of Henry’s
paperwork (yes, feels endless but we’re
confident that it will suddenly end
someday!)
June 23 - Drive to Mt Vernon Ohio to drop Taleah off at her
Aunt Brenda’s so she can
enjoy cousin-time.
June 28 - Drive to Columbus International Airport and fly to
Dulles International Airport
where we will catch a connection to Frankfurt,
Germany and on to Nairobi, Kenya.
While in
Kenya, we arranged to do a case study on the Resource Center. This in-depth evaluation will help determine how
to design a model for other Kenyan churches to develop ministry to serve the
poor. We will examine what works, what’s transferable, what’s indigenous, where
are mistakes and can they be fixed. Of
course we will spend time with the amazing mamas and kiddos from Joyland. Henry
will see his old stomping grounds.
August 3 - Leave Nairobi, heading stateside via Frankfurt.
August 4 - Land in
Buffalo, NY
August 5 - Attend
Lisa’s family get-together in Western NY
August 6 – Head back to Pagosa in time for Taleah to go on camping
trip with her cross-country
team and get Tavin off to college.
The rest of August will be medical appointments for Henry.
Oh, and Lisa’s Dad will be in
Pagosa for a few weeks!
Summer filled up suddenly!
Please join with us in prayer for:
- Strength and safety as we travel long and far.
- Henry’s ability to experience healthy transitions.
- Taleah and Tavin as they manage their summer schedules. Tavin stays in Pagosa working and preparing for school.
- Quick obedience to the Holy Spirit’s leading.
- Sensitivity to hear and speak what the Lord intends.
- Hearts to perceive and understand what God expects.
- Amazing grace for the Resource Center board, the mamas and the kiddos whom we call our friends.
We are grateful for your continued encouragement, prayers and support.
