Last fall, you were asked to pray for some global missionary partners (GMPs) serving among a people group in Sub-Saharan Africa who were having to get new visas. Living and working among this people group, this couple faces daily unknowns, a common plight for foreign workers. Recently, the wife received a three-year work permit so that she can work in the country and help provide income for her family. The husband, at the same time, submitted papers to renew his one-year work permit. This couple has found obtaining work permits stressful over the years. With the wife getting a job and a three-year permit, the family’s stress can decrease. Join them in giving thanks to God for providing them more income and a longer legal status in the country! Pray that God will make it easier for the husband to get his work permit processed and approved quickly. Pray that the permits will help this couple share about Jesus and teach Scripture to more people. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9 ESV).
