.... Obed went today for his travel visa appointment (with his father and his sister Cyndia). He called me at about 12:15 pm. and said they did not get them. He said the person conducting the interview asked his father a few questions and then said, "I am sorry- you are not qualified to go". It was hard when Michael did not get his back on my birthday in September, but this one was tough because Obed is only 16 and Cyndia 17 (both minors) so I thought for sure the US would allow them to accompany their father to the states. But, God must have other plans. So... we wait upon His timing. We will try again but it is VERY expensive ($150 usd) to try and there is always a chance that, like today, they will be denied again. Many people try a few times before getting approved and others never get approval.
So... pray for us as an organization as we decide if Pastor Duval should travel to the USA without a translator and if so, when that trip should be. Also, pray for Obed and Cyndia since they are disappointed, though they trust it is God's will for them to remain in Haiti at this time.
Thanks for the prayers- He DID answer- just not the way we hoped. But it's still an answer. Nothing happens by chance. It's a good "life lesson" in waiting upon His timing.
Pray too for Michael as he returns from the Dominican Republic in the next day or so and for Pastor Duval as he celebrates his birthday next week. More on that to follow.
His servant- Crystal
