Update # 6: October Mission to restricted Acess Nation
HALAS! (It is finished in Arabic!) Today we saw a miracle like never before! We talked with our contact in the South yesterday and for all practical purposes the visas for the South were going to be delayed for so long that it looked like a grim chance we would enter the country this trip. So last night we spent some good time in prayer just asking for direction. After prayer we knew that if we were to stay in the country we had to find a way to get to the city where the "Big Headaches" had taken place and offer some comfort to our family. In a matter of hours doors opened up for us to travel tomorrow morning to encourage our brothers and sisters who are hurting so much right now. This was the first miracle.
Then early this morning we went to the South Embassy to seek one more time for approval into the country.. One of our team members received the acceptance but everyone else was still not cleared. We left for about 20 minutes when I received a call that our visas were just confirmed 'sent' from the South and we were to immediately head to the Embassy. Because this is the month of fasting everything closes by 2pm and everyone is in a hurry to leave so really everything stops functioning by 1pm. It was already 1:30pm. We ran as fast as we could and got to the Embassy to just be told, " You will have to come back tomorrow!" But, in faith and desperation we continued to stand there unable to move. Then a man we had found favor with a few days earlier appears and says he will check one last time for our approval. Like waiting for a cup of water in a scorching desert we stood there stilled in prayer and anticipation. Then it happened! This man come back and says approval for the remainder of the team has arrived but we must wait for tomorrow to process. Immedialty we graciously pleaded - " Is there any way?" Then the man took our papers and after about 10 minutes came back and took our passports and began processing our visas.! PTL!!!
This man from God had gone back and convinced all his M workers to stay long enough to give us our visas! The Embassy was officially closed and we were in the inner offices being processed to go South! These men stayed late during the month of fasting which does not happen. They have not eaten or drank water all day and somehow ---(GOD!)-- moved them to grant us permission to go South! IT was incredible! Your prayers have been heard and God has granted favor--Thank you for keep this so close to your heart and allowing God to use you in this way!
We now know why we have been delayed. Tomorrow we will travel north and encourage our suffering family and exchange business with them in this time of great need. --Then we will be traveling South for a time of business like we have never experienced before!!!!
Thank you for all your prayers! Please continue to pray for favor and open doors. That our steps would be ordered and not a moment wasted for His Name Sake. May He be glorified!
