This problem involved our plane and the Venezuelan government. We were charged illegal fines of up to $120,000 US. And at another point, $87,000 US. All of this became so difficult and hostile that the US State department became involved.
All charges are cleared!!!!
All fines are canceled!!!!
I have often asked for prayer for this matter and was not able to discuss it with you all in detail, but prayer has made a difference! In spite of the desires of some cabinet level ministers of the Venezuelan government, God has allowed for this to be worked out in our favor!!! Amen!!!

Wonderful! Praise the Lord!
Rejoicing with you.
I met a guy from BIMI in Lancaster that had good things to say about you. Can't remember his name.
Send a mission packet to our address if you will and we will take you on with regular prayer. Too small to add $ for you.

I come to visit after a few weeks and this is the best news I've heard all day. What a relief. I'm so happy for you. I've been busy with work and don't have much time to blog or browse my favorite blogs. I've missed you.
Praise our awesome God!
PRAISE THE LORD! BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!
JM,
I didn't know about this problem until I read this message.
Most disturbing, though, is that Venezuela actually has the power to collect a fine against an American in America??
Good news, praise the Lord!
When the Judge is your Father, your Lawyer is your Big Brother and the Witness is your Best Friend...heheheheheh! I love a rigged court!
It is a huge praise, I'm sure that the government would have loved to seize the plane and any assets the mission board had in country, but instead they have to wave bye-bye!
My heart goes out to the indians that are stuck without that lifesaver! May G*D have mercy, continue to work among them, strengthen and uphold them and reveal HIMSELF mightily to them!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

Your, and our, advocate was, and is, the LORD!

Halleluiah!
Our God is an awesome God!
We are rejoicing with you by making homemade blueberry scones and eating them without you because if I sent them to you they'd be ruined before you got them and that would just destroy the whole spirit of joy and happiness. I certainly would not want to do that!
HA! I guess they just wanted to you out of the country.
Anyway it is good news!

Stephen,
They had wanted us to "donate" the plane. We managed to get the plane out of Venezuela and over to Trinidad quickly. This seemed to anger them. However, they would not release the registration of the plane. This meant we could not fly, sale or move the plane in anyway. The FAA could not register the plane under US registry until Venezuela released the Venezuelan registration. They could only invent charges against us, but yes, they were charging us for doing "illegal" flights.
serendip, good to hear from you!!!
So they actually tried to steal your plane! GRRRR!
I'm so happy this has been resolved, Rita.
I guess that they no longer had the leverage needed to enforce their mordita...
Prayers answered. YES !!!
Thats great! So happy to hear that!
yeah!!!!Praise the Lord!!!!
Yes I have been praying for you and yours and your ministry. God is faithful.Praise his wonderful name!
