Today I ask for your help. As most of you know Jen and I experienced
a clear call from God to serve him internationally. So after a long season of prayer, we were
called, by the Christian and Missionary Alliance, to serve our Lord in
Mali. This meant leaving our home in Wellsboro
, PA and prepare for our new life as international workers.
Over the past spring and summer we have been busily
preparing for our first flight on the journey, to language school in
France. Here is where I am asking for
your help. We need prayer. Classes at the French school start on Tuesday
and we do not have our visas yet (we have been waiting for over 11 weeks). If we do not get our visas by the end of this
week, there is a good chance that we cannot attend the French school this term,
drastically affecting our preparations.
I will not waste your time complaining about this fact. What I want to do is ask you to join us in the most productive task we as Christians can do. Let us join together in prayer. Let us ask our Heavenly Father for a miracle and that our visas will arrive this week.
I am reading through Luke in my devotions right now. One of
the clear themes throughout the book is that Jesus is a Man of profound
authority. Over and over and over again
he demonstrates his authority with ease.
And it seems that the only ones who correctly understand the depth of
his authority are the demons.
One thing is certain: we serve a God of profound authority
who is concerned personally about his creation.
Today I am asking you to go to the highest authority and ask for the French
bureaucracy to release our visas so that we can continue down the path of
Glorifying God by making much of his name across the world.
Please also pray for the Lawerence family as well; they are
in the exact same situation with the exact same embassy. Please pray that we get to study the French language
for the Glory of Jesus. Thank you for
partnering with us as we join this mission together.
Please share this post so we can have everyone praying.
