January 10th, 2008

God be praised!!! Kevin has obtained the Iraqi passports for Amina and her mother! At this time their departure is still set for January 22nd. We still need to pray for the assembling of the escort team and the purchase of plane tickets.
We would like to clarify why there was an increase in the estimated costs for Operation Amina.
Initially, Kevin estimated from his limited position and contacts what the cost might be. His estimate was $25,000.00. Since then, a team member has more thoroughly calculated the total costs including air-fare, lodging, satellite telephones, travel expenses, insurance, and post surgical care as being closer to $48,000.00. These are liberal estimates and we hope the cost may even be less. At this time, any excess funds will be designated to Children's Hospital in Nashville. As we have stated before, the hospital has generously agreed to do the surgery for no cost.
Thank you for your fervent prayers. We are seeing God open doors in areas we did not expect. Please continue to keep Amina, Kevin, her mother and the team in your prayers.

We did not know this information was here until today. We will examine it more closely to see how we can give to help with the ministry of you and your men to Amina and her family. Thank you for representing our marvelous Savior as you do your duty to our country. We pray for Lima Co. as we pray for Joshua.

By His grace and for His glory!
