Weekly Update

Weekly Havertape Update

I am so sorry that we did not write last week, but to say the least it was a very crazy week! We are now preparing to return to the States on Monday, the 13th. So this is a crazy week too, but I wanted to send you a little update and tell you thanks for praying!

Last week we went again twice to try to get all of our paperwork sorted out in
Vladimir. We we got to the final step the women looked over all of our documents for one hour. She checked every detail.


She came out of her office where we were waiting and gave us the news. She told us that our FBI reports had to be redone because they were old. So we are returning to the States with our new fingerprints in hand, that we did in Moscow on Monday. We will be mailing them back to the FBI and then to have the apostille seal. Please pray this will be a speedy process.

The woman told us that we have five places in the quota until the end of the year so however long it takes us to get our paperwork back to her is fine. It is just a matter of working out all the kinks. After the paperwork is turned into her then it will take up to six months from that date to receive the stamp in our passport that we have permission to be in
Russia for three years. PRAISE THE LORD!

As I said we will be returning on the 13th of April, our visas are up and we have a return flight. We will spending time with family and saying goodbye again and this time we do not know for how long within that three year time period. Please pray that our time would be used wisely.

We will also need to raise a lot of funding while we are in the States as well. You can be praying for these needs:

1.) Return tickets. ($3,500- $4,500)
2.) To renew our visas during the six month waiting period ($3,000 each time)
3.) We need to raise our monthly support $1,000 more each month. We are so great full for the supporters we have now and their faithfulness! We know that the Lord will provide.
4.)
We have seen the need for a car especially if we will be traveling between Kolchugino and
Vladimir for both ministries. (This will cost anywhere from $10,000- $15,000)

Please be praying for these needs, and pray for us that our trust will be in
Jesus and His plan for us and not the burden of finances.

Thank you for all your prayers,
The Havertape Family

PS We all are sick right now with a cold, please pray for our traveling that we will be well by Monday.
