Bribery Will Get You Somewhere...Special


Answer to Prayer...with the Proper Money...


Money makes the world go round...and it also greases the palms of the authorities.


Ron Kedas, the logistics contact for Maranatha here and our guide, has had his visa issues resolved today...with the payment of an extra $1,000 US. When it was finally figured out that money payment was what was holding up the process, it is being cared for today, and should be resolved for this precious family of three by the end of this week. This will make them secure for the year...and then have a simple (and less costly) renewal for as long as his work keeps him in the country.


He will also be able to travel to South Africa and Swaziland and back with no problems.


Praise the Lord...and the generous people that support Maranatha.


Please don't be uset that your offerings go for bribe money. It's how things get done in much of the world.
Ron politely bribes people on a daily basis....today, the bribes were for him.
