Emergency Prayer Request For PIBC

Please pray for a situation that just came up. We received a letter from INS saying that they have revoked the religious worker status of two of our Liebenzell Mission Germany missionaries, Jens and Karin Schulz. Jens is our Guam Campus Director and Chief Financial Officer and Karin is our Registrar and Chief Bookkeeper. For us to lose them in the middle of a school year (or any time for that matter) would be devastating. The INS is giving us two weeks to respond to this very surprising ruling. We will be seeing an immigration lawyer and talking to our US congressional representative tomorrow to try to prepare our response. Please pray that we will have wisdom in making our response and that Jens and Karin will be able to remain at PIBC for the long term. They have been part of PIBC for six years now and it is hard to find someone with the combination of their needed skills and expertise with a heart and training for missions and ministry.
