Day 2 Ended and Day 3 Begins

DAY 2 ENDED WITH A BANG

DAY 3 WILL BE ABOUT CAMELS

    Good Morning from the Arabian Peninsula where we have been enjoying the weather, about 90 degrees and 75% humidity, to the wonderful people of this region.  Yesterday was a pretty good day, as they should be when you are walking with the Lord.

    Yesterday 3 of our group (Dona Beth, Becca, and Gavin) began the day by going to a home of a wonderful person where they were welcome in and we able to share, talk and enjoy the beginning steps of this lady.  The other 4 of us headed to the Souk (market) and did intercession and interaction with the local people.  Then we all came back and begin our time open conversation in the English classes that were happening.  Dona Beth, Steve and Becca were able to be with the children and enjoy their openness, friendliness and just fun.  Then later the group met with a group of adults learning English and were able to speak about families, hobbies, interest and pretty much anything else that arose.  They all said that they enjoyed this because of the sharing that was happening.  Then in the evening we participated in our first Church service.  What started as 20 people ended with over 60 (yes I counted),  listening to Skip speak God's Word and challenging the people to become light and remember that Jesus came to save the world.  And Gavin joined in with their worship group to celebrate worshipping our Lord.  It was a good day!

     Today we are headed to visit the local Mosque and pray to OUR LORD.  Then we head outside where we are to meet a "friend" and soon a "brother."  We will be with him and his family and his many, many  camels (I will be in Heaven, love those animals) and share a wonderful meal with eternal results.  

     Today during our time together, we will be looking at the following Words:

Psalm 68:35

You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!

     Thank you again for walking this road with us...



The Arabian Peninsula: Soon Begins

THE ARABIAN PENINSULA

 

 



    I just couldn't resist myself but to add this picture.  Jeannine sent it to me last week and I find it so right since in just about 4 hours I will be starting the trip to the Arabian Peninsula.  Here are the basics for the trip:

 

1.  There is a team of  seven of us (from California and Oklahoma) headed to the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

2.  We will arrive there after 30 plus hours in transit.

3.  We are doing a multitude of different things from working at the beach, doing ESL, working with local churches and other various things.

4.  We are 9-11 hours ahead of your time (11 hours from California, 9 hours from Oklahoma).

5.  We will be in-country for 9 days, and then another approximately 30 hours home.

 

    This only covers a few of different things we will be doing.  The team is very excited about what is going to happen.  We have already begun to see many works.  There is a great harvest beginning and we just the beginning of the things that will happen. 

    Please lift up the team daily, the people we will come in contact with and our families here in the States.  Please check back often or even daily to this blog to see what God is doing on this trip.  Also please leave your comments, I would love to share then with the team.

 

God Bless,

Ron
