URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Dear Prayer Partner,

We have an Urgent Prayer Request. We received a letter from the American Embassy today informing us that we have 27 days to get our US homestudy completed. This homestudy is something that we have been trying to get done for 1 1/2 years and have met with many "drag my feet" people who continue to delay it.

We were previously led to believe that if we did not get the homestudy done by January 2, 2009 that we would be allowed to file an extension. This letter says that they are no longer allowing people to file extensions. This is very SERIOUS, this means that we could lose Ross. That Ross could lose us.

We don't want to try to recount the 18 month long story. We simply want to ask that you would pray for God to intervene and that either the appropriate agency will complete the homestudy in time or that the US Embassy will give us a grace period.

We appreciate your prayers and ask that you pass the request on to anyone whom you think would pray for this issue.

Thank you for your prayers.
