Prayer Request

My heart is broken for friends of ours, Josh and Tasha Via.  They are friends from seminary, and we've had the pleasure of doing ministry with them a few times since.  


They are currently in Uganda adopting a little girl, Shabila.  They have been over there for 2 months, and have had her in their care for about that long.  They have been through a very long process of adopting her and went for the final stage at the US Embassy on Wednesday.  They were to travel home on Sunday.


They were denied her visa.  I don't know all the details but I know they they need a miracle.  Their congressmen have been contacted and it is in the hands of Homeland Security.  The situation looks pretty hopeless, it is completely out of their hands.  We are praying that the Lord will intervene.


Will you pray with me?  Many many people are joining together praying on their behalf.  Pray that the Lord will intervene and that they will get to bring home little Shabila.


"Ah, Lord God!  It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm!  Nothing is too hard for you."  Jeremiah 32:17
