Need a favor...

Tomorrow at 1:30pm our time, 6:30am EST we are asking for your prayers. We have an appointment at the US embassy to take our Kenya resident visas and get part of our adoption "sorted out". We recently received an email from the US embassy here saying they were going to be "closing [our] 1-600A petition". This isn't great news, but we are hopeful that we can get things sorted out. We expect to get our passports from our lawyer today or early morning tomorrow with our work visas stamped inside.

Please, if you are able, lift this appointment up tomorrow morning at 6:30am. If we all join together in prayer, wherever we are in this world- we believe God will hear all of these prayers being lifted up on behalf of our Tiny Thompsons- and we believe HE will answer them according to His good and perfect will.

If we can get this resolved, then there is a good chance this adoption will get on the right track from here on. We do not ask for prayers flippantly. We beg of you to rise early and to get on your knees for this. Chris and I will also be in constant prayer. We believe that adoption is one of God's biggest passions as he adopted us as his own- to be heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.
