We have great news to report and that is James' residency permit in Tanzania has been extended. We got the news as it happened yesterday afternoon, and with just a week before he flies out of the country on furlough, it was a last-minute job. But for those of us that work in Africa we know that is often the case.

As people we like to have things done and dusted well in advance but that's not often the case. The plus side is that it strengthens your relationship with God and your prayer life is energetic!
