A Call For Prayer!

We have applied today for four of the five Visas to Ghana and will apply for the fifth one when Taylor gets home from France. There is a possibility that we will have to make a trip to Washington DC to get hers back in time. There is some concern that all of the Visas will be late in getting to us in order for us to leave on the 29th. Please pray that God will carry us at this time. Until now I have told many that I feel like we have been God's hands and feet doing the footwork for Him here. Now that we have sent the Visa applications in it is out of my hands and is in God's hands. Now it is up to us to trust Him and have the faith that He is asking from us to let Him carry us. I do not believe that God would let so many things to come together that would allow us to buy our tickets just so at the last minute He could stop us from using them. Taylor's Visa is still a question and I will be making some calls tomorrow to the Ghana Embassy in Washington DC to see what can be done to insure that it is in our hands by the 29th. Please pray that the Embassy will work with us, we have only been told how hard they are to work with so please pray that God will soften their hearts to our need and they will work with us to get the Visa in time for us to leave on the 29th.

I also wanted to let all of you know that if you have tried to leave comments and were not able to please try again. I have the problem fixed and look forward to reading your comments and questions. Please do leave comments especially while we are in Africa, you words of encouragement will be a huge blessing to us when we are homesick.
