John & Nikki Garrett: Missionaries To Tanzania
Welcome to our first video blog entry. We hope you enjoy the change of pace. Since this video was first made, there have been some minor adjustments to our plans. The video says we are leaving on a Thursday, but there was a delay on some of our work permit paperwork and we will actually be departing sometime between Monday and Wednesday of the last week of May.
The silver lining to this hang-up is that the errors made in the local immigration office have opened a way for us to help our Tongwe village church and pastor get their national registrations approved and validated sooner than normal. The door has also opened much sooner than usual for us to get temporary residency through this organization - a much broader permission to live and work in the country than the short-term work permits we were initially pursuing in this first year. So, once again, God has taken an inconvenience and is turning it for our benefit.

We thank all of you who have taken part in our work and pray the Lord will continue to lead you daily into a radical and intimate relationship with Jesus. We leave you with an excerpt from Forgotten God, by Francis Chan: "It is easy to use the phrase 'God's will for my life' as an excuse for inaction or even disobedience. It's much less demanding to think about God's will for your future than it is to ask Him what He wants you to do in the next ten minutes. It's safer to commit to following Him someday instead of this day."
