(Cont.The Plan) We are applying for our visas at Chicago. It could take as long as 4 months.  We will book meetings for August in order to raise a bit more support. The dollar is still very weak, and French Polynesia is one of the most expensive countries in the world. There is a possibili1y of spending a few weeks in Quebec helping another missionary there, perhaps in September. October will find us looking for a boat in California. We have a captain that will sail it down for us.
     We have talked with our home pastor, Mark Smith of Faith Baptist in Tacoma, Washington concerning these events. The goal is still French Polynesia. Someone needs to get the door open. If there was just one Baptist church there, such as the one we established in France, that church could invite others in. The Eglise Biblique Baptiste in St. Remy, is a legal association, which we formed about 9 years ago according to the law passed in 1901. That same law exists in French Polynesia.
     Pastors and churches, we need your help. The Mormons, the Jehovah Witnesses, the 7th Day Adventist, and all the others are there. Each of these "churches" had the vision, the finances and the desire to work together to send their missionaries. But we who have the truth, who can make a difference in the lives of the people, are not there. By God's grace and His providence, we will go. But we need your help. It will require patience on your part as we wait for the paperwork. It will require your gifts financially, and your time in prayer. If we believe that we have been given the Great Commission, as those who do have the truth, we then are obligated to take the Gospel to these islands.
     I know this is a long letter. But I have written it that you might understand the situation as it exists in French Polynesia and the difficultly of going there. They are religious and seeking, but they need to hear how they might know God personally.
     A last note: We have received an invitation to go to Micronesia and take over a work established by a missionary that must come home for medical reasons. If we are refused our visas, we would consider going there, buying a boat, and then taking three months a year to evangelize in French Polynesia. It would be much more difficult to do, but I believe possible, to plant a church on one of the islands, then that church could invite us, or others, to come in. This, then, is the key. There must be a local church!
     Thank you once again for your support, for your prayers and for your faithfulness toward the Lord and toward the ministry to which He has called us. We pray for you consistently, and trust that God will continue to bless you and yours as we labor together in His vineyard. We continue...

Serving with you the Best of Masters!
