38 days and counting to Wales, Alaska

Today in 38 days Cecilia, Rene and I will start the Western Highway Part one by praying at the furthest westernmost tip of the North American continent at Wales in Alaska. From there we will travel over land all the way along the Western Coast of North America. At the border between the US and Mexico Cecelia and Rene will leave me and Eugenie will meet me. From there she and I will travel through Central America to Costa Rica or Panama where Ethie will join us. Eugenie will leave us again in Peru and Ethie and I will continue to the southern tip of South America from where we will go to Buenos Aires and then back to South Africa.

Between now and the 12th of July when Rene and I will travel to New York to meet Cecilia the following things to come in place:

Finances: Full provision of all the money we need to be able to get to where we need to go. Rene is still waiting for all her money, Ethie and Eugenie has much in place already, but they need some more, Jansie and Cecilia are OK if the budget we were able do is accurate.

Flight tickets: Rene still needs her ticket to the US, and Eugenie needs hers to Mexico. Jansie, Cecilia and Rene have tickets from New York to Nome, Alaska but have not yet been able to book the flight from Nome to Wales due to difficulty in communicating with Bering Air, the only airline that seems to fly there.

Overland transport: We need to travel by bus from Alaska to Canada but we haven’t been able to find clear info on bus services there. Our plan is to rent a car from the US Canada border to San Diego, so that part is sorted although it is far to drive. In Mexico, Central and South America we need busses and ferries and THE ABILITY TO SPEAK SPANISH!

Visas: Jansie, Cecilia and Rene still need their Canada visas. Jansie and Eugenie need visas for Mexico, and Jansie, Eugenie and Ethie need visas for Panama.

Contact with local believers: Jansie desperately waits on the Lord for His power to make contact with the people He wants us to meet along the way. She has had many favorable responses and needs the anointing of the Holy Spirit to join the dots and fill the blanks.

Awesome God! Rene won an international art competition for her painting “He is my Rock - He is my Fortress” and Cecilia and her family got supernatural favor with their US residence permits.

Protection: Eugenie’s cat and dog got sick, Jansie’s dog was hurt, Rene’s bank account was emptied out through internet fraud, and Ethie’s car broke.

Please pray with us for these things and let us know if the Lord gives you anything for us!
