A Special Prayer Request

A special prayer request

For the last 4½ years, Caleb & Kristina Brazel Meeks, along with three other families (many of them Harding University graduates), have been sharing the gospel of Christ with the people of Tanzania.  This past Christmas Eve their Visas were revoked by Tanzanian governing  officials.  Their explanation for this “sudden ousting” was that the mission team was not making visible improvements (brick & mortar) to the infrastructure - - no church buildings or schools erected.   Underlying this decision is a cloud of tension between Muslims & Christians.  These families have subsequently been labeled as persona non grata and are hereby forbidden to re-enter the country.  Mark & Jill Brazle and Steve & Donna Jo Meeks are currently in Tanzania trying to retrieve, sell and / or give away the possessions of these four families.

Pray for a change of heart on the part of government officials.    Pray also, that if necessary, these four families can reconfigure their lives and that all will work out for the good.  P.S. To lessen the likelihood of burglary, do not mention this on Facebook or other social media.
