Well, initially we thought we'd be coming back to Australia...but only to get our visas and head back in time for 2nd year. We've realised, after much discussion and differing information, that we can go into Canada and apply for our visas there. We have also found out that we can enter back in the US anytime (opposed to just 30 days prior to school starting), due to the fact that Dave is returning to the same course of study. As much as we'd love to see friends and family, it is much more efficient financially to do it this way. It also allows us to enjoy some time exploring the country and enjoy a SUMMER! Woohoo! :) Not too keen on the idea of leaving winter here just to face winter in Australia. So we'll travel into Canada with some Aussie friends and perhaps spend a couple of weeks exploring Canada, Washington and Oregon. We'll also enjoy the HOT summer here in Redding, spending time at the lakes, and in our neighbours pool! :)
The other reason for not returning to Australia is so I (Taff) can attend the School of Worship. This is a 3 week intensive over the summer (obviously the US summer :) ). I am so excited to be able to spend those weeks soaking up all I can, so I can continue to grow in the area of prophetic worship. I so believe in the power of worship and what it can release into people's lives.
We're also looking forward to visits from family and friends while Dave's on the summer break. We'll possibly try and rent out our spare room (currently occupied by our boarders) during the summer, or at least during the school of worship, just to help cover the rent. (We love our house and we don't want to lose it! It's such a blessing in so many ways - to us and all who consider it a second home :) ).
With all this info we'd love you to pray for us! Firstly, we need the finances to be able to pay for visas and 2nd year school fees, as well as the fees for the school of worship. (I'm also believing that God will provide a digital keyboard for me! I'm biting at the bit to be able to play and worship at home, and record songs onto the Mac.) Secondly, pray that the visa process will be quick and hassle free. Thirdly, we'd love you to keep praying for us to continue to learn and grow, and see God use us supernaturally to see MANY lives saved, healed and delivered. We can't wait to pass on what we are learning!
We love you all and thank you sooo much for your prayers and support! We are learning so much and changing continually! The love of God is soooo amazing!
