IMMIGRATION

Many of you have probably heard that our request to extend Paul and Margaret Pennington's
work permit for three years was turned down. We appealed and were able to get a one year
extension which gives them until December 1986. This was not an isolated incident as many
people had to leave the country. It has made us realize that we cannot take our presence here

for granted but must make good use of our time. Other requests for new work permits and

extensions of work permits are in at this time. Please pray that God in His wisdom will use the
men making these decisions to grant us the workers that are needed to help the church here
to mature and prepare to stand strong for Him.

Please pray for me as I travel and tell about the work in Zimbabwe. I hope to see all of you
while I am in the States.

Thank you for your part in the Lord's work here.

In Christian Love,

Marcia Kay
