CONTAINER PACKED

This past Friday, May 23rd our container got packed. Friends and family were such a blessing as this great task was completed. The most exciting part was to see that all of our belongings actually fit onto the 8'x8'x20' container. Everyone did a tremendous job in making this happen in the allotted time given. As you can see, some of us were really sweating it until everything was finished.

Do pray for the container to get to its destination with no glitches. Pretty much everything we own, with the exception of a few items to carry on the plane is on its way to Chile via this container. Oh how we need it to arrive safely.

Continue to remember our family as we will be leaving for Chile on June 10th.

God bless,

The McBryars

Next Time

Next Time:
The next prayer letter after this one will be when we are in Chile! Wow, what a sobering thought as we tie up loose ends here before we depart. We are finishing up a few meetings, shipping our container on the 23rd of this month, and visiting family before we take off.

June 10th:
June 10th is the day. We will be leaving from Atlanta, GA, flying to Miami, FL, and then to Santiago, Chile. We will arrive the next morning on the 11th at about 6:00 a.m. We are very excited about getting on into the country and doing the work that the Lord has called us to do.

Just a little more:
We are very close to having all of our support. We are currently at 95% and are expecting God to do great things. We literally just need 5 or 6 more churches to bring us on up to where we need to be. Be in prayer concerning what the Lord may want you do to and bring in this last bit of support!

Thankful:
We are so thankful and grateful for all of you that have given sacrificially towards this ministry. Because of you, God’s work will be accomplished and souls will be born again! We praise the Lord for all of you and your faithfulness.

The Beginning of a Process

We have begun the process of packing. We have asked many to pray about this part of moving. There is a lot of organizing involved when it comes to shipping a container to another country. We are glad to see how things are coming together so far. There is still much to do, but we are definitely seeing progress.

We want to thank everyone for keeping us in your prayers as we finish up deputation and begin our move on June 10th.

We'll try to keep everyone more up-to-date on happenings in our life as things progress.

Hebrews 6:10 "For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister."

God bless,

The McBryar's

CHILE

Our hearts are heavily burdened for the souls of the country that God has called us to. The people are steeped in religion and idol worship that has them in bondage to the things of this world. As we go, please pray for the 16 million souls that reside here. Of the many religions in this country, 89% of them are Roman Catholic. We know that there is hope for the Chileans through the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word.

DATE SET

Praise the Lord for our departure date! We have visas in hand and plane tickets have been purchased for June 10th. God has been so good to us in every way possible. We are currently at 91% of our support and just need a few more churches to take us on monthly. We would ask that you pray about what the Lord may want you to do personally to bring in the remaining 9%. We know that God “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”

MOVING

The time has come to get everything together; and I do mean everything. As a family we have moved from one place to another, but never like this before. There is so much to pack and organize it seems to be an overwhelming task at times. Things are getting close and it is coming to what is often referred to as “crunch time.” Do pray for us in this specific area to get things accomplished in an orderly and timely manner!

God bless

VISAS APPROVED

Praise the Lord for our visa approvals. On March the 10th we got word that our visas had been approved. We are so excited to see God work in such a mighty way. The whole process went extremely smooth with no glitches whatsoever.

We only need 12 more supporters at an average of $60 per month to have our support! Would you be in prayer about what the Lord may want you to do concerning the remainder of what is needed.

We want to thank everyone for all that you have done for our family, you have been such a blessing!

Now that our visas are approved, we officially have up to June the 14th to enter the country. We are not planning on waiting that long, but know that this is our deadline and the latest that we can go in.

God Bless,

The McBryar Family

LOOKING AT A DEPARTURE TIME

Looking At A Departure Time:
Considering we get our visas approved by the end of February or the first of March, we are planning on shipping our container to the country of Chile sometime during the month of April. We want to do this about a month before we actually get there to allow for it to arrive a little before we do or shortly thereafter.

Target Date:
After approval of our visas, we will have 90 days to enter the country. That will put our target date right at the end of May!!

Praise and Prayer:
We currently have 84% of our support.
Be in prayer with us concerning the remainder of support.

Visa Applications In The Mail

Today was exciting as we made our trip to Atlanta. The family was able to meet with the Chilean Consul at 11:30 a.m. as opposed to the original 3:00 p.m. scheduled time. We had asked for everyone to pray for no glitches and those prayers were answered during this meeting for today. Everything went smoothly and much quicker than we ever expected!

It will still be around a month before we hear any news about the actual approval on the visas. Regardless, we are glad to have them going to their destination (which will arrive by noon tomorrow), to begin the process of approval.

Thanks to all that have prayed and given financially toward this part of the process of getting to Chile!

Chris, Stephanie, Delaney, Bailey, and Morgan McBryar
