Hey all, so we haven't received our visas yet, so we need some serious prayer into that area so that goes smoothly.

thanks

As you may be aware, we are leaving in late August to go to Redding, California, to study at Bethel Church. Brad will be interning under Brian Johnson, Worship Pastor, and Claire will be attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. We will be there from late August through to early June 2010. We have done extensive research into visas but unfortunately, we are not eligible to obtain a visa that allows us to study and work in the United States of America. The only option we have for employment is “on campus”, however, this is not easily come by.

We are currently saving (like crazy!) and will have our tuition, visas and airfares paid off prior to leaving Australia, as well as hopefully saving as much as possible. Our budget for the 9 months we are away is approximately AUD$670 a week. While this seems daunting and in fact impossible in the natural, we believe God is in agreement with us and He is the God of the impossible!

We are writing to you, our friends, to ask you if supporting us both in prayer and financially would be something you would consider.

Areas of Prayer:

· Visas – the whole process but most importantly, especially a speedy issue!

· Money – that God would bless and increase our finances

· Favour – for finding the right apartment/car/furniture etc

· Jobs – we are praying God would provide that on campus job!

· Us! – that we would learn and be expanded and stretched beyond our current capacities and be able to bless others through what we learn. And for a covering both physically and spiritually while we are away.

Financially:

We would be blessed by your financial support in any form, be it weekly, monthly or a lump sum amount. We have provided our bank account details at the bottom of this page if this is the easiest way for you. Would you kindly advise us of any financial support you can commit to, as this will assist us with our budgeting.

We are also more than happy to share our budget with you.

We understand times are tough currently in the financial market and do not want cause you or your family any strain. We would be richly blessed by any support you can give us financially or not. Please note, we absolutely do not want to take away from any of your other tithe/giving commitments and would prefer you to maintain those as your priority.

We are incredibly blessed by your friendship and it is our prayer that the Lord would richly bless you and increase your measure of favour.

Thank you for loving us and supporting us in any way that you can.

With love,

Brad & Claire
