Today was the last day of my teaching here. The meetings went well and overall everything has gone as well as we could ever hope. It is very touching to hear in the voices of the Christian workers a passion and love for the people they minister to. After our meetings were completed we had [...]

Looking forward to going home. Very full day today. Spoke in the morning and in the afternoon and meetings all in between. Many exciting ministry reports of what our “Father” is doing through his people in the Middle East. We have been treated wonderfully. Hard day for Leslie. She had to keep the kids busy [...]
This was our first full day in Dubai. I just finished giving my first message. I pray it was an encouragement to the team here. Today was by no means a total work day. We took a morning Metro trip from the home we are staying at and went into downtown Dubai. We got off [...]
We left our cold abode, Jordon, with the Christian workers and their families and arrived safely in Dubai, UAE. Our 2 ½ hours flight included a choice of lamb stew or curry chicken. The temperature here is in the low 70’s and is very comfortable. We are meeting extremely interesting people. We have met Christian [...]
Today was our last full day in Jordon. We started our day going to the most ornate Mosque in Amman. Michel and Leslie had to wear special coverings (see picture) in order to enter. Our Christian Worker friend explained the postures of prayer and the nature of a service in the Islamic community. After going [...]
Dead Sea MudEnd of a great day. The day began with Michel and Leslie having the chance to float in the Dead Sea. It was only in the low sixty’s but they had fun. The Christian worker we are visiting then took us to the actual baptismal sight of Jesus. It is only on the [...]
We had a very full day today. We returned to Petra and did lots of climbing. When you go into Petra you first travel through the Siq (a long and narrow canyon) and then enter the Nabatean City. Yesterday we explored grave after grave (High monuments carved out of the rock) but today we climbed, [...]
The cold is wearing thin. The funny thing is that even though it may be colder in New York, or about the same temperature, because you can never go someplace to warm up, even inside, you always have a bit of a chill. Even the water heater produces lukewarm verses hot. We had a [...]
Day 2 in Jordon. First of all we are adjusting to the cold. The home we are staying in does not get above 54. I always thought Jordon was a desert climate. Well, it sort of is but the buildings are stone with bad windows and no insulation. Our space heater produces pretty light and [...]
