Emergency prayers needed!


It was all set. After years of waiting, planning, applying and jumping through hoops, Mbamie's husband was supposed to leave Africa yesterday. But when he got to the airport, the other 7 people in the program were sent on without him. He's stuck in Africa. They said their was no visa in his passport.

Mbamie is not convinced. She thinks it is a twisted plot by a twisted individual to keep her husband in Africa. That sounds totally unreal, but I've been told this is an all too common malady and there is an individual who is mad as heck that he is leaving. This person could very well have given reasons to keep him from traveling. Jealousy is a vicious enemy. Her husband had not even told his family that he was leaving Africa until this past week for that very reason.

Pray for peace for Mbamie, faith and strength for her and her husband and that the enemy would not be able to keep them apart any longer. She is distressed to say the least.

At one point, he also lost his luggage containing all his documents, file, education certificates... but that was found. This process has been an agonizing one step at a time, a step forward and one back routine. NO MORE! May the doors open before him, the way be swift and the timing perfect.

The good in this is that she is trying to move to a bigger apartment and with many delays in that process only got the keys yesterday, so this gives her more time to prepare for his arrival.But I have the feeling that she would have much preferred the assurance of his safe arrival and their long awaited reunion (that was to be tonight) over another night of worry, frantic long distance calls and an apartment to move.

Do you get to see M'bamie regularly? If I wanted to send her something could I send it to you?
