So the Congolese Embassy in Washington DC, which has had our passports for the past six (6) weeks, has just closed for the day, and there is no indication on USPS.com that they used my reply mail envelope to send our passports back to us (with or without visas inside of them).
While unlikely, it remains plausible that they will process our visas and send back our passports tomorrow, in which case we would get them Saturday, two days before we hope to travel. Given that the Embassy is closed on Saturday and Sunday, we are not expecting that they will process or mail our passports between the close of work tomorrow and the departure of our flight at 7:30am Monday morning.
So please pray for three things:
- That the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in Washington DC would process our passports tomorrow, Friday June 23, 2016, and then mail them back to us in our Priority Mail Express return envelope, which would then return to us on Saturday.
- Wisdom in knowing when and if to cancel or reschedule our flights (costing maybe $4,600+ to keep a similar itinerary).
- That in all this, God’s glory would be evident in the DRC through, despite, and/or without our intervention.

We’re definitely praying, Kent!! You have clearly done all you can do, and I’m so sorry the DRC embassy has been so slow and uncommunicative. 🙁 They have no idea of the good work you plan to do, or of your heart for DRC.
You may have heard that Dave B had to cancel a planned trip here because he didn’t get his visa in Nairobi. I don’t know if this is a pattern of ineptitude or politics or what.
Praying for a big miracle today, and praying for God’s peace.
