God's provisions

Today we got the final signature that means LAMB again can bring funds into the country. After more than four months of hard work and prayers the relevant authorities finally signed the final piece of paper that clears the way for LAMB to access our funds.
Please praise God with us for his provisions.
We are also thankful to the Government of Bangladesh and to the many diligent workers, at LAMB, in our office in Dhaka, and in various parts of the government system who have worked with us to ensure that LAMB can continue 'to serve God by serving the poor, especially women and children in Bangladesh.'
Please continue to pray that the government will grant us the same permission for the school.
Please pray that God will be glorified for His provisions.

And two hours later...
During prayers at the Sunday evening service loud 'Amens' (something I haven't heard before) echoed at the request to praise God for His provisions. The prayer leader prayed that the funds we now can bring into the country will bring further glory to God through more people knowing Him. Amen.

FD-2

After the auditors have scrutinised our budgets and found that we have accounted accurately for the money we have been given, and that we spent our funds during the last fiscal year (July - June) in accordance to the mandate given us by the government we apply for permission to bring in funds for the new year, a so called FD-2.
For some reason or other this process has been delayed this year and we have run out of funds in country.
Tomorrow, Thursday, our ED is hoping to speak to the authorities in Dhaka so that we can access the funds already given to LAMB.
Please pray for fund release - we need two; one for the school, and one for the rest of LAMB Project so that we can continue to pay salaries and provide the services to the people we have been sent here to serve.
Please also pray that we will see God's hand in this, and learn from it not to make the same mistakes again, and more about God's faithfulness in providing for our needs.

God is Faithful

When two weeks ago recalculations of the budget for the Science building showed that we were US$ 10,000 short we agreed that the only line of action was on our knees. Less than three weeks later donations from Denmark and Germany had made up the difference. Praise God for his provisions. Pray that these added facilities will help us further honour God.
