Monday was National Voodoo Day here in Benin. My wife had the great idea to move one of our meetings to this day so that in addition to meeting, the team here in Benin could spend extra time praying on National Voodoo Day. One of the things we praised God for was that three years ago on National Voodoo Day TWR made its first test transmission from Benin.
We also praised God that in the past couple of weeks there was very significant process on the title deed for the land in Parakou for houses and offices. The mayor’s office has completed and announced a survey. The completion of this survey will allow us to move forward with the next steps in the process.
In addition we praise God that all the paper work needed for the first step in TWR’s application for Non Government Organization (NGO) status has been completed and submitted. Pray that the government of Benin will respond favorably and quickly. This status grants TWR tax benefits (much like a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the US).
Please continue to pray for the shortwave license application. In December we were able to deliver a packet of information to a government office concerning technical details of the licensing process. Please pray for a timely and positive response from this office.
