A prayer for intervention

This message is being posted fort all of my friends who believe in the power of prayer.  I have an unexpected prayer request that I would ask you to remember, until we are at peace with God's answer.  Some of you know that our children had to leave the country of Spain for 6 months because of the US law regarding Social Security.  Now it appears the Spanish Government is saying that because they did leave, they will be sanctioned, and have to leave the country with their whole family in 15 days.  With the conference they are involved in, schooling, packing moving etc., that makes for a near impossibility.  I am enclosing a letter from Giles, our son- in- law, and asking that you please pray for them as God would lead.

Hey Prayer Warriors,

We desperately need your prayers.  Today we received six letters in the mail from the government of Spain saying that since I (Giles) was out of the country for more than six months in the course of one year, our whole family must leave the country within 15 days.  This is, of course, a big deal to us.  We don´t know why our case seems to be such a problem for the government seeing as how missionaries are leaving the country for 12 months at a time without any problem, but for some reason God has chosen to allow us to pass through this trial.  We have talked with some great believing lawyers here in Spain to find out what our options are (appeal process, extensions, etc.) and have scheduled a meeting on Monday to proceed with creative options, hoping that we will be allowed to stay at least through Misión Posible before having to leave.

So could you pray that God will work powerfully in this situation so that we can stay in Spain at least through the end of Misión Posible?  This comes at a very bad time since we are only one month away from the start of Misión Posible, and we find it very hard to imagine that God would want us to miss that event which He has placed so firmly in our hearts and hands.  If that is His will, we will accept it of course, but it is nearly impossible to receive this news right now without the heaviest of hearts.  So, quite obviously, the request we would like you to cry out on our behalf is: God, please let us stay and continue our ministry here in Spain! 

Thank you for your continued ministry with us through prayer.  We´ll let you know more when we know more.

In Christ,

Giles and the Davis family
