Greetings to all of you who love and support the Chimala Mission!
I need to give you a brief update on our January 20th trip to Chimala. As you know, Nathan, Kristi, Eden and Emmy Ferguson were supposed to move to Chimala to begin their new work there as missionaries. Mary and I planned to accompany them not only to help manage getting them moved and settled-in, but also to evaluate a year’s worth of time spent away from the mission due to the COVID pandemic. On this trip, we planned to stay several weeks to evaluate and assist in the many aspects of the mission. Unfortunately, due to delays in getting Nathan & Kristi’s work and residence permits, we have no choice but to postpone our departure date. We have canceled our KLM flights and received vouchers that can be used to reissue new tickets. At this point we don’t have a definite date of departure; however, a general estimate would be mid-to-late February. I will give you an update as soon as I have more definite information. In the meantime, we ask for your prayers that this inconvenient delay might be removed. Thank you for your understanding. May God’s goodness and kindness always be at home in your heart!
In His service,
Howell Ferguson
Stateside Coordinator
