Waiting for Visa – Packed and Ready
“And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD’s Passover” (Exodus 12:11).
Eta and I have applied for my visa and we have been waiting for several days. We were told I had to book my ticket before I could apply for the visa, but they never asked for my ticket information. Now, my flight is scheduled for March 2nd, but I still do not (at this writing) have the visa.
We have been praying for the visa to be approved so that I can make the trip to Indonesia. We have applied for a ninety-day visa which will enable me to get into the country and then we will apply for a permanent visa which will enable me to travel back and forth.
Since we are not yet able to get her into the USA, and I am not able to enter any other Asian country (because of the covid), I will be spending more time in Indonesia and work from there as my base. On this trip, our #1 goal will be to complete all of the processes for the permanent visa. While there, I can continue participating in classes and worship services in Singapore, Malaysia, China, and other places.
I will be going on March 1st to get my covid test, but if the visa does not arrive, I will still not be able to go.
I have booked a ticket from Atlanta to Jakarta, transiting in South Korea. On the return trip, I will fly from Jakarta to Atlanta through Haneda, Japan. I will have to stay in a transit hotel in Korea on the way, but it will not be necessary on the return through Japan. When I arrive in Indonesia, I will take a covid test and if still negative, I will stay in a hotel for a five-day quarantine. If still negative after five days, I will be free to leave the quarantine.
We solicit your prayers.

Looking for Opportunities to Help in the Work
As we continue to wait for the opening of the borders to Asian countries, I continue to look for opportunities to assist in the work of evangelizing and edifying among the Asian people.
I continue to be able to speak in both English and Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia, and now, Indonesia. The teaching I will be doing in Indonesia will be with translation, primarily by Harun Tamale. I will also work on a lesson to deliver in the Indonesian language without translation for some time in the future.
The TanjungKarang congregation is having an on-line class on Friday night to continue to educate and edify the brethren in Bandar Lampung.
Please keep our work in mind and in prayer. May the Lord continue to bless us as we strive to serve Him in His vineyard.
