Update from Matthew and Rachel Harley

Dear friends and family, just a mini-update today, with some items for prayer.

After more than a month of getting papers together, we're finally ready to submit the children's settlement visa applications with all the supporting documents, and so will be travelling down to Abuja tomorrow to hand them in on Thurs. We'd really value your prayers that all goes well, particularly that we'll be able to hand in both applications together, because as it stands, Anna's appointment is on Thurs and David's on Friday, but we need to travel back to Jos on Friday because Saturday is the State Governor elections and a no travel day. Please also pray that all the documents get scanned and submitted okay, as just one missing page could make all the difference! Then it's the long wait (maybe 3 months) before we hear a decision, and if favourable, we'll only have a month to leave the country.

We're thankful that the National elections passed relatively peacefully a week ago, and we're praying that the upcoming regional elections will be peaceful as well.

Another bit of news is that the student who made the mat-making video that we featured in our last newsletter is currently the focus of an article on the SIL International website, as part of SIL's celebration of 2019 as the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages. It's quite a nice summary of his language project, and how he's been involved it in, with some cool photos too.
With our love and thanks,

Matthew, Rachel, David and Anna
