I just saw the note about Norman's (Mangena) visa request having been turned down. We are upholding him in prayer and hope it will be granted, if there is a way to apply again.
Have you talked with Rev. Maake Masango (pastor at Alexandra)? He is coming  with the group in September as well. I've known him for many years, and he and  his wife Pauline have told me in the past that they don't have trouble getting  visas to come over - so perhaps he has a special way of requesting  mission-related visas. And you may have already tried everything - I just  thought it was worth mentioning, just in case.
Norman's visa and visit are in our prayers.

Prayers have also come from Gifford in Zimbabwe.
ReplyDeleteHi friends,
ReplyDeleteMy visa was declined by the US embassy, for unclear reasons like proof of employment, and why I was applying out of my home country. There is no appeal and I can only make a fresh start. With the costs involved, I do not think I will pursue it further this year. I will give it a try again next year. But I suppose everything happens for a reason.
Thank you and God bless
Norman
It is very sad that you did not get visa. We pray that you go this week and get it.
ReplyDeleteGod is there for you my brother.
