Finances, Packing up household, Travel plans, Schooling for boys, Mike Howes who will be coordinating SALT courses while Mick is on furlough. Also, pray for replacement personnel to take over Mick's duties as Project Resources Coordinator.

Finances: We need $15,000 in order to purchase airline tickets for our family of five, plus $5,000 for furlough travel and related re-entry expenses. Over the past year we’ve lost support and have had to use our furlough savings to cover expenses on the field. Please pray that we can finish this term strong, especially as two of our sons are transitioning back to life in the US, and that God will enable us to develop new financial and prayer partners in this ministry. We praise God for the faithful partners who have given sacrificially during this journey of faith!
