Prayer Request for today

Today, Aug 3rd, at 1:00 p.m. Dr. Jeudy and his wife have a follow-up appointment at the US consulate here in Haiti regarding their application for a student visa. This will be their 3rd interview.

Dr. Jeudy, a graduate of our Seminary here, has been accepted at Dallas Theological Seminary and been granted a scholarship.

The Consulate requires that applicants show proof of their ties to Haiti which lessens the possibility of them staying illegally in the States. Dr. Jeudy and his wife have done that - own a house here, a clinic, are building another hospital, etc. This has been enough proof for them to have tourist visas - both have current tourist visas and Dr. Jeudy has had one for 27 years. Both he and his wife have honored their visas for all these years. They have had many opportunities to remain in the States if that was their intent, but haven't.

We are all vexed and do not understand why the problem now, except that maybe Satan is not wanting them to study at DTS. We also realize that God might be closing the door, but then wonder why He permitted them to receive a scholarship when those are not easy to come by.

Anyhow, we ask you to pray with us for their interview tomorrow. We are asking God in His sovereign power to change the minds of the Consulate officials and permit Dr. and Mrs. Jeudy to receive their visas.

I was reading for my devotions and this passage prompted me to write you:

"We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure....But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.....On Him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many." 2 Cor. 1:8-11

We covet your prayers and look forward to many giving thanks and glory to God for answered prayer.
Thanks, Bruce & Cindy
