April 28, 2021 – It is less than a week until we get on the plane and head back for an extended period of time in the USA. We are still going to be monitoring and coaching our livelihood programs in the Balkans we just will not be here running them.
Instead, we will be working to help the church understand and respond to ways to really help folks in need around the world. We have many new ideas and programs that we will be sharing soon.
But for the next 5 days, we are focused on all that needs to be done to get stateside. With Covid restrictions still in place, they are extra steps that will need to get done – one of those includes getting a negative Covid Test within 72 hours of flying – but this is a holiday week in Bulgaria – and Yes, I mean a Holiday WEEK – April 30th is Good Friday, May 2nd is Easter, May 3rd is Easter Monday (a holiday) May 4th is Labor Day here (Normally on May 3 but you cannot have 2 holidays on the same day so it has been moved for this year) and then May 6th is St George Day,
Thinking we knew the schedule our flight was scheduled for May 5th – thinking May 4th was a working day – it isn’t and we are not sure we will be able to get tests – although I have been assured we can (I have heard that song before) We are asking that all our supporters pray that we will be able to get this test done with the results in time to make the flights back to the USA.
We will be scheduling church and partner visits soon – so if you would like us to come and share all that God is doing please email me at [email protected] and we will get back to you as to when we will be in your area of the country.
Thanks for your prayers!
