How long does the negotiation process take?
There are no rules about how long it has to take, but in our experience it usually takes one to three years, but sometimes signficantly more. During this time the negotiators make numerous visits to the shrine and may also be working in the background. Almost always we meet unexpected obstacles, and of course, there are no guarantees. We simply trust God that He would designed us to be free will work with us on behalf of those who are oppressed.
