_I requested a meeting of the church leaders on Saturday to try to clarify our position on our pastor. Because of not having the right visa he has to return to Venezuela every two or three months and spend a couple months there before he returns. Not only is that disruptive to the church, but it's very expensive. I thought it was important that we had the support of the whole church to do what is needed to keep Pastor Batista in our church.. At the end of the meeting I was pleasantly surprised. There was unanimous support, and even the willingness to help financially. We really believe he is called here by God, and that God's going to use this church. Cheryl came in yesterday. It was great to see her.
