Samuel Acan is coming to the USA – glory to God!  I just got word that the lady at the Embassy approved his request and granted him a visa.  I don’t know the details but do know that God answered your prayers!  Hallelujah!  They say Samuel is grinning from ear to ear and can’t stop singing!  Awesome stuff! 

I appreciate Bro. Johnny Tucker going with Samuel and Soy getting them there on time and safely.   Thanks to Louise Mason for all of her help in the application process.  Thanks to Senator Jeff Sessions office and their help.  Thanks to everyone who helped, prayed, et cetera! 

However, all of the glory goes to God!  We recognize this is a total God thing and we don’t take that for granted.  God is good and we give Him the praise!!!

Just heard from Soy again.  Bro. Johnny went inside the Embassy and they said Samuel would need an official document proving his appointment time in order to be allowed in immediately.  He doesn’t have such a document.  The good news is that the line is moving fairly quickly and Samuel is almost inside the building.  So, keep praying! 

It is 3:00PM Central Time and Soy just called to give me an update.  Samuel arrived around 1:00PM for his 1:30PM appointment only to find a line with a couple of hundred folks trying to get into the Embassy.  It is moving at a snail’s pace.  Bro. Johnny is going to try and get inside to ask if they have to remain in that line or if Samuel’s appointment puts him in a different place.  It seems everyone in line had a 1:30PM appointment.  Keep praying!  Thanks!  God is in control!

Marisa Felps left me a voice mail yesterday afternoon asking us to pray for Carla Kyser as she has an appointment with the doctor today.  She is supposed to receive another treatment but that doesn’t always happen as scheduled.  Pray!

Vera Bosarge sent a request from Colorado asking us to continue to pray for her brother, Mose.  He remains hospitalized and is losing blood internally.  David’s mother, Maxine Rogers, is home and doing well. 

The arrangements for Don Loveless are as follows:  visitation tomorrow night, 7/15, from 6:00 – 9:00PM.  The service will take place on Thursday, 7/16, at 10:00AM.  The visitation and service will take place at the Holder Wells Funeral Home in Moss Point, MS. 

Bro. Jerry’s team is in the countdown mode now as they are schedule to leave for Guatemala on Thursday, 7/16.  They will have a packing party tonight beginning at 6:00PM. 

Bro. Johnny’s team is finishing up their week of ministry so pray that they will have a strong final two days. 

Keep praying for the Fab Five (Brandon, Pam, Alisha, Soy & Deidra) as they have a little over two weeks left in their summer ministry.

My only focus in this post is to ask you to join me in praying for Samuel Acan as he appears before the US Embassy representative today.  Pray the he will be granted his visa.  I appreciate Bro. Johnny Tucker going with him and Soy driving them.  His appointment time is 1:30PM (Guatemala time) and I should be able to post the results here by 3:30 – 4:00PM Central time.  Pray!
