Waiting for Visa

Linda and I are very excited... concerning our new adventure to serve with Tiwi College on Melville Island in the Northern Territory of Australia. We should be hearing concerning our visa approval any day now. Once we hear of the approval we will be heading off in a matter of a week or two.
We have mixed feelings about leaving being our family is here in the states and the fact that we are leaving behind a very good ministry working with children from families in crisis at Crossnore School, Inc. in the high country of North Carolina. It was a tough decicion to leave but we feel like God has new things for us with Tiwi College and we do not want to pass up a great opportunity. We are thankful for the opportunities we have had at Crossnore school over the last 3 years after returning back from Papua New Guinea.
At Tiwi College we will serve as house parents to 12 students while they attend the school. Our duties will be many as we tend for the students needs, spirit, soul and body and also serve as needed on the campus and around the islands aboriginal communities.
Melville Island is Tiwi customary land and was officially handed back over to the Tiwi people by the Australian government in 1978. Tiwi College is located in Pickertaramoor on Melville Island. Melville Island is located about 50 miles North of Darwin, Australia.
We thank God for the opportunity to serve the Tiwi people. Please pray concerning the finalization of our visas and a smooth transition as we leave the states.
