As you know we’ve been praying for people to get here because of visa problems. In short, 11 people had visa problems. 1 decided not to come so that left 10 trying to get here.

Today #10 made it! All 10 of the people who wanted to get here did! God has proven his faithfulness once again. He has provided 100% of all who committed to attend MinistryNet: Budapest 2005.

Thank you for your prayers.

We told you about a prayer request for some potential conference attendees that were having trouble getting their visas to come to Budapest.

Here is the latest update:

• We originally had 11 needing visas
• 3 received theirs
• We still have 8 needing a visa to attend

Will you please pray for these 8 people? Please pray they will be able to get their visa and travel arrangements in time.

UPDATE: 1 visa came through! Please pray for the remaining 7.

UPDATE #2: 2 more visas came through! Please pray for the remaining 5.

UPDATE #3 (30 Mar): 1 more visa came through! Thanks for praying…please pray for the remaining 4!

UPDATE #4 (31 Mar): 1 more visa granted. 1 potential attendee stopped pursuing it since doing so would require travel from the Philippines to Indonesia (then Hungary) with no guarantees of getting past Indonesia.
** 2 remaining ** - These two individuals are now in transit from Mali and Ghana, hoping to receive visas in Paris and London respectively. Pray for these remaining two!!

UPDATE #5 (1 Apr): 1 more visa granted in Paris. 1 more to go!

UPDATE #6 (6 Apr): The last one arrived today!
