August 15, 2006 Update

The commissioning services at my home church this past weekend were wonderful. I am now at 70% of my budget! This means that when I get 10% more pledged I can head for the field! This is also contingent on my visa coming through. However, my team leader is back from his furlough and is going to try to help push my visa through in Venezuela! Please keep praying that God would provide my visa in His timing when I have 80% of my support! Thanks again for all your continued prayers and support. I can't believe that this is actually going to happen. I hope to be leaving for the field very soon.
All the Glory to God,
Matt Johnson
