Prayer Request

If you are so inclined, a couple of prayer requests:

For our court case tomorrow, and for all the other Group A families that court passes smoothly and without a single snag leading to the assignment of Embassy dates and travel dates in the near future!

For the peace talks and growing hostile environment on the Horn of Africa (where Ethiopia is located). The attempt at peace talks failed and the next attempt won't be until mid-December. There are long-standing issues here--religious, border disputes, etc...to name a few. You can read more about the situation unfolding here. It is so easy to be disconnected from the in-fighting of a few impoverished, ancient nations a continent away until pieces of your heart sit, helplessly, away from you, while the situation deteriorates around them.

For these intentions---Lord, hear our prayer.
