Hello to our friends and family back home "walking" along with us through the Holy Lands via this blog. A few people over the past couple days have been ill either from exaustion or the food and water. Usually these have been taken care of with rest, bottled water, and over the counter medications. We would greatly appreciate your prayers though.Last night we had our very own church worship service - singing, a message from Pastor Tanner, a testimony from a traveler in our group who lost and then found his billfold, as well as a visit from some local missionaries who told us about life and ministry here in a Muslim country.
We are all in awe of how the Lord allowed us to come here. There is great beauty here, but also we see how blessed we are by God as there is far reaching poverty in Jordan. Please pray with us for the salvation of these people.
Someone in our group put it well: "Now I understand Paul's life here more. Sometimes he stayed in a 5 star hotel and sometimes he was a bedouin."
*Note: Please come back for pictures and further updates.

I am praying for you all! Thanks for the letting us in on your journey in the Holy Land! I almost feel like I'm there! I do hope that the sick folks get better soon! PFYA!

Thank you Rose, we really appreciate your prayers. Everyone is excited that the blog and our trip is being followed by friends and family back home. Pass the word along to read and pray we can get some more pictures up. The connection is slow in certain hotels, so pictures take a long time to post.
It's fun being woken up at 4 am for prayer, isn't it?! I hope you guys have a chance to leave the scripted tour of antiquities and spend some time among people of the modern Middle East, both Arab and non-Arab. It sounds like you're kept quite busy.
