madagascar crisis

Hi everyone, I know this is long over due. It is really hard to write this blog at this time. As many of you know things are not good in this country at this time. Yesterday I went to a embassy meeting where the ambassador talked about the situation. All the family's of the embassy workers are being sent home at this time. Most of them live in the center of town where most of the action has been.
As for me and my part of town, there has not been any problems to date. I am praying for God to tell me when I should pack up and return to the states until things settle down here. I do think they will settle down here, the question is when. If I take the political evacuation out of the country it will be a round trip ticket. I will give the crisis a couple of months and hope to return then. I plan to keep my house here and let the office remain open while I am away. If I return I would like to return to Arizona. I am praying for a place to stay for the time I am back there. (Jeannie and Jerry if your house is still on the market maybe I can house sit) I anticipate staying for at least 2 months and then only will know when we see what is happening here. I know my family wants me to come home to stay, but I don't foresee that happening. This is where I was called and this is where I will serve. I pray you can accept it even if you can't understand it. For my church family please pray diligently for this country and for me to honor and obey my Father in Heaven and take time to listen to Him.

Thank you for your prayers.

I also know I will need more support during this period of time while in America. Please if you are a faithful supporter know how much your support means to me. If you are considering being a part of missions I would love to have you pray about monthly commitment to this ministry. I know many are already a part of my ministry through prayer, however please pray about being a monthly financial prayer partner.

You can make commitments through the World Venture web site. www.worldventure.com click on donate and find my name under missionaries. It is under Sandra Horen.

Thank you all.
With much love and God's blessings
Sandi
