Contract Update

Thanks for your prayers. After making many trips over the past two weeks to the offices of the Ministry of Public Health, our Quito office manager finally was given a payment check which covers the month of July. That helps, but we still are waiting to be paid for Aug-November. And, we're still waiting for the contract to be signed.

A week ago I was in Quito to do some IT work, and had lunch with our Quito office manager. I found out the reason for the delay in the signing of the contract. In the past, the contract has not listed a money amount. Somehow, the new contract was written with a dollar amount included. Any government contract over $150K must be signed by a government controller office. That is the hold up right now. If that dollar amount would have been left out, we'd have a signed contract already. But the controller is stalling on the contract. Pray that this office would approve the contract.
