Peace also describes my spirit as I have decided to
apply for a renewal visa to extend my time here for another three years. This is where I feel I am supposed to be! The process has already been started as I
work to get official approval from the University and then I hope to apply for
the renewal visa in January so that it can be processed before my current visa
expires mid-April. Please pray that the
appointment letter from the University arrives quickly and without any
complications and that my police clearance is likewise processed without
delay. Although I have peace about the
decision, the process is definitely still stressful!
Your prayers for peace and protection would also be
appreciated on behalf of the students we work with on campus. Three of the ladies have had scares
recently. None of the students have cars
so they have to walk about a mile to the grocery store on a regular basis. One
was followed by a car for some distance until she ran up to a house for help and
another was mugged by several men wanting her cell phone. The third, who lives off campus, had someone
try to break into her window late at night. Thankfully he was scared off. All this coming on top of the kidnapping,
rape, and murder of a woman from my church when she went to the bank, is
causing fear and anxiety to grow in the hearts of the students. Only the inexplicable peace of God can touch
their hearts in the midst of these situations.
Thank you for your prayers throughout this
year! They are invaluable to me!
I pray that you will have a blessed Christmas season
celebrating with friends and family and that “the peace of God, which surpasses
all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
