Travel Plans For August and September 2017

Come prepared to enjoy an afternoon and evening full of laughter and making memories! We will be sharing our wedding video and story of how God has been guiding us in our journey together. We ask that local Michiganders bring a dish to pass, Soups and Salads of any kind, so there is enough food for everyone to eat! Desserts are very welcome ;) When you RSVP, let the Bontragers know what you're planning to bring. We also ask that any additional gifts would be monetary so as to save on luggage space when we fly back home to the DR.

TRAVEL PLANS UPDATE

For those of you who read our blog or have been in contact with us, you've heard that we're planning a trip to the States in September. It will be Miguel's first time to visit the U.S. and to meet most of my extended family and friends (only immediate family came to our wedding in April.) We have a few updates and prayer requests to share, so please pass this on! No. 1 - MIGUEL'S VISITOR'S VISA APPROVAL. Miguel has an interview appointment at the U.S. embassy on July 26th where they will let us know whether or not his visitor's visa application will be approved. If his visa is denied, I'll be spending the 3 week trip by myself, so prayers are appreciated for favor from the officials, and most of all, God's will to be done. No. 2 - SUPER IMPORTANT TO KNOW! We've updated our travel dates to AUGUST 19th through SEPTEMBER 7th. Originally, we planned a ten-day trip for the first and second week of September, but with Miguel's university semester break being the last weekend of August, we want to take advantage of the extra time that gives us. No. 3 - WHERE WE'LL BE. ~Atlanta, GA area AUG 20-23 - Friends and family from The Bridge church, we're coming your way! Please be praying for good flight options so that we get to see you all Sunday morning of the 20th. ~Lansing, MI area AUG 24-31 - Rose's parents will be hosting a wedding reception at their place Sunday afternoon of the 27th! Be sure to read the information included below the above invitation and mark your calendars - everyone is invited! ~Minot, ND area SEPT 2-6 - Northland Harvest Church, we will be sharing our ministry updates on Sunday the 3rd. We are so looking forward to seeing everyone and spending the week catching up with people personally. No. 4 - ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE US Whether you want to have us share with a group or at your church, meet personally to catch up over a meal or coffee, or hear about what's happening here in the DR in general during the above dates, PLEASE MESSAGE US. We want to see you! We have a lot more time because of the change in schedule, so don't hesitate to reach out. We are so excited for this trip and what God has in store! Stay tuned for more! And as always, thank you so much for your prayers and support.
