Prayer and help required! Lebanese VISA.

I am scheduled to depart for Beirut on Friday morning to participate in the Lausanne Theology Working Group meetings at the Arab Baptist Seminary.

My VISA application was made in December last year, but to date I have had no confirmation of the VISA.  I googled the Lebanese consulate in South Africa and found telephone, fax and email contact details - so I sent an email, sent a fax, and tried to call them.  The phone just rings without any answer, and I have had no response to my email or fax.

I know that there is sensitivity about who they let into Lebanon (see the image in this post which is a screen shot from the Lebanon Travel Guide).  Without mentioning the name of the 'other' country (just in case they google me!), I have been to there twice.  Perhaps that is the problem?

So, please do spare a prayer for me in this regard!  Also, if you have any contacts that I could follow up in order to get this matter sorted out please leave me a comment below, or send me an email via the contact section of my web page.
