Secrets and Surprises

We are back! Yes it is true… the Alexanders are back in theUSA.

If you have been following our blog or Facebook’ you are aware that we have had a few difficulties with our visa situation. In short,due to a random security hold on our bank account the UKBA was unable to take our visa payment, which rendered our visa application invalid. While we did not have to pay the visa fee for the first application (THANK YOU JESUS), this mess has caused our visa application to be more expensive. While we have raised about 50% of our annual commitment, once the fee for the application is taken out we will drop back to 30%. It is not wise for us to pay for our visa application with the possibility that we may not have enough support to stay in Edinburgh more than 3 or 4 months’ time. So after much consideration we have decided to come back to the states to fundraise for a couple of months. Once we feel comfortable that we have secured enough funds, we will reapply for our visa from the States.

Our goal is to raise $1800 a month and right now we are at about $600-700. So we still have a ways to go. If you have been considering partnering with us, please let us know. Honestly, we cannot do this without you.You all are a crucial part of our ministry through prayer support and financial support.

We will be splitting our time between Chicago and Indianapolis, and elsewhere in between. We will post up our schedule soon. We would love to see as many people as possible and cannot wait to catch up with everyone.

On a happier note: We are so excited to be here. While this is not an ideal situation, we are so blessed to come home and visit with family and friends over the holiday. See you soon!!

Please continue to pray for us as we will be traveling and pray for God's guidance for us and our ministry.

P.S. Sorry for the late notice- things developed very quickly and we had to make a fast decision.
