Troolin email update, June 2017
Dear Friends and Family,
Praise God with us that we know that our citizenship is in heaven, that
He is sovereign, that He is with us wherever we go and that He fills us
with His peace. He has reminded us of these things during the last few
weeks as Dave's citizenship application has been processed.
At Dave's recent citizenship interview when the case officer asked him
if he would be leaving Australia in the next twelve months he told her
that we are planning to return to PNG to continue with the Sam ministry
work in the village later this year. Her response was that because we
intend to leave Australia within this next year he is required to hand
in more paperwork to demonstrate that he has "close and continuing ties"
to Australia. This includes more than having a spouse and children who
are Australian.
Could you please pray for God's guidance as we put the requested
information together? We plan to submit this paperwork within the next week.
Thank you and God bless you,
Dave and Sarah
