Thank you for your prayers for our trip to West Africa next week. Please pray for extraordinary favor with the Togo & Benin embassies. We just received a phone call from the people responsible for taking our passports to the embassies to get our visas. We thought we already had our visas for Togo & Nigeria on Monday and just needed the visa for Benin which normally takes 3 days. Now we find out that the visas for Nigeria took longer than expected, even though we had paid extra for rush service. They are hoping to pick up our passports with visas at the Togo embassy today and take them straight to the Benin embassy where they already dropped off our paperwork. We need our visas from Benin in only 1 day or we will not have our passports back in time for the trip! We know that God is in control of all things and He is more than able to bring it all together in time for us to have our passports with all the necessary visas in hand before we have to go to the airport to catch our 11 AM flight next Tuesday (Nov. 22). Thank you for standing with us in the gap and believing God for victory after victory.
Please continue to pray for our ministry time in West Africa and also for the church planting conference on Mindanao on Nov. 23-25 that God will supply every need and that Jesus Christ will be honored and glorified in everything that is said and done. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!
GOD LOVES YOU!!!
