Please Pray

Our tickets are booked for March 13th for the long ride between South Bend and Abuja, Nigeria! After we arrive in Nigeria's coast side capital, we will have a day long journey by car north to Jos. We couldn't be more excited to have our tickets finally booked, but we've hit a major road block!

OUR VISAS HAVE BEEN DENIED! They warned us that visas were difficult to obtain and apparently this happens up to 50% of the time, but it still hurts. The Nigerian consulate has cited that we didn't include all of the 20+ documents needed for our application, but they were all there. So SIM will be resubmitting our application ASAP. Our travel coordinator believes we may be able to still leave on the 13th, but can't guarantee it. Luckily, our tickets our transferable and we can change them until the 12th.

PLEASE PRAY:

1. That God would place the correct person on the job when our applications go through and that they will be granted quickly. We know that He works everything for good and trust His timing in our adventure.  

2. Please pray for God to continue to grow our faith.

3. Please pray for the strengthening of believers as violence against Christians escalates in Northern Nigeria. Pray that God would give us His words and love for those in desperate situations.
