Today we are depositing the paperwork to appeal the judges decision that excludes Michael from traveling with us. This paperwork will be deposited in the office of the judge that originally denied the travel petition. This office has three days to prepare copies of all the paperwork they received as part of the original hearing and pass the appeal along to the President of the Judges in this region. After this we have no set time frame regarding how long this judge has to either hear the appeal himself or assign another judge to hear our appeal.
We are asking that those of you that can join us in prayer and fasting over the next three days that God's hand will move through the court system. That he will work through secretaries, court reporters, assistants, and judges to work on our behalf to overturn this decision, just as Hannah fasted and prayed to see God's promise fulfilled in her, we long to hear the words of Eli to Hannah, "
"Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him."
This past month has been a difficult one for us. We have been pushed to the edge emotionally on several occasions. We are trusting in God and putting this in his hands, we are praying that whatever is in the way be removed. Pray with us and pray for us.
