Urgent Prayer request for Missionaries Charles and Tressa Rouch in Zambia

I received this late last night from a close friend:

Dear Sarafaye, Preacher & Darci,

We are writing to ask you to go to immediate prayer with us again regarding an urgent matter occurring tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. here in Zambia  (1:00 a.m. EST). 

We are to appear in court regarding false allegations with respect to a ministry project we started some years ago on a rented piece of land. Charles was on the witness stand for an hour on the 12th. Our attorney here feels there will be closure one way or another tomorrow, so we are asking you to pray with us. This was supposedly finalized 4 years ago, but has now been brought back up in court and of course we are the foreigners, so that makes it very different. We know this is Satan trying his best to harm this ministry and remove our family from the country. We are not the only missionary's fighting these types of things right now in this country. These are serious allegations and we covet your prayers. We are trusting the Lord to intervene and put a stop to "unreasonable men".  Pastor Cheelo has traveled up from Livingstone to testify, as well as Pastor Kunda here in Ndola.  Satan is obviously busy here right now, so we wanted to include you in this newest tactic wasting our time from what we have been called here to do.  At 1 or 2 AM Fri. morning your time,  we will be in court here at 9:00 AM.  Please, please pray much now. 

We will send an update as soon as we can tomorrow. 

In His Service,

Charlie & Tressa Rouch
