Please pray for our friends who are missionaries...here is the letter we received~
Dear friends and family,
Our shipping container that we shipped before we left the United States in
January has still not arrived here.
I reviewing many websites, it appears that the ship that it carrying it, may
have been stuck at sea for over a month.
We are now starting to run into some serious complications because of this
delay.
I received an email today from our receiving agent that since it did not
arrive within 90 days from the time we arrived, it could no longer be
tax-exempt. We will have to travel to Dar and request an exemption. This
will add to our expenses, and we need prayer that the extension will be
given to us.
Also we have been told that if it does not arrive within 6 months from the
time that our permit was issued (December) it will not be exempt.
That time is coming up on us quickly also.
PLEASE join us in prayer and share this with others including your church,
as you feel impressed. We really need prayers to open the doors for this
container to arrive in port, for us to be granted all the exemptions,
extension, etc. Please pray that the ship that it is currently on will
arrive in port very soon, and that it will make its last ship journey
without any more interruptions. The trip that normally takes less than two
weeks from South Africa to Tanzania is now over a month long. There are
strange things going on, and we need God to intervene. As we pray God's can
work in our behalf. Please pray with us. THANK YOU!
Also please pray that nothing has been damaged, stolen or lost and that we
will not have any extra fees.
Tamara, Doug and Joshua Schoch
