This wait and fight for the living permits definitely has given me a new understanding of others who have gone through this! We are not the first and only and it is not just limited to Moldova. It is a stress of missions that I didn't understand until now.
These next weeks are crucial. We need permits by the 31st of the month and it would be nice if they were even before that time.
This month we have a lot of teams helping us with the construction on the Home of Hope. Teams always add a lot more work to life here and added stress, (although we LOVE the work they do!) But this time I don't even notice the stress of that because this whole "Will I be here in 3 weeks?" is a greater stress. The other day Elissa said, "I don't want to spend Christmas somewhere else!" Three months of exile is a long time for kids!
Please continue to pray and believe with us that the heart of the one saying we cannot have the permit will be changed. Please pray also for peace in our hearts and pray that God would just make a mighty way before us so that the work that is happening now will not be stopped because of this.
We would also like to ask that if any can fast and pray with us on this, that they'd let us know. If you fast a meal or fast a day. Jesus said, "these come out only with prayer and fasting" and I do believe this is a great spiritual battle at this moment.
Thanks for your prayers.

Hi Nancy,
Now that we are back from Moldova, I can't stop thinking about you all. Tomorrow I return to women's Bible study and have plans to share with the ladies the work that is being done and also that on October 23 and the remaining Tuesdays after study, we will be offering a group prayer time to ask God to do what needs to be done for the living permits for your family. We commit to pray and fast on your behalf until the LORD fulfills His plans. With great compassion in my heart for you, Jenni Leach
