I want to make an urgent appeal this week for prayer that Lisa's my visas for Namibia will come through this week, before the holidays. I just received the following update from Gideon and Pam Petersen. The committee is meeting this week for the last time this year--so if the visas do not come through this week it will be next year before we hear anything. Of course, Lisa and I were originally planning to travel to Namibia during the first week of January. Although it appears that this will not be possible at this point, if the visa is delayed until January it may be impossible to travel before until much later. So please make this a matter of special prayer.
Following is the update that I just received from the Petersens:

Greetings and salutations from Namibia!
We just had a good week with Laurence and two days with Clyde here in the
capital city.
I called the agent yesterday and she informed me that the committee is
sitting this whole week for the last time this year. We should receive news
by early next week on your situation. If your names were not dealth with we
will have to wait until the new year to hear where you stand.
I apologise for the incovenience in this situation. Thank you for your
patience.
God bless!
Gideon
