Another day in the AP

Great day of sharing today. All three teams went out to the malls, coffee shops and souks to share the message. I had the chance to share with Mubarak in a Borders book store. He was a nominal Muslim who spoke only a little English. I was able to share a verse of scripture with him on my iPhone using the YouVersion in Arabic. I shared I Tim. 2:5 "There is one God and one Mediator between man and God, the man Christ Jesus who gave his life a ransom for all people"
He was intrigued by this verse and that he could read the NT in his own language. He said he had read some of the NT before.
We also had a chance to share the 5 min video with several people today, one man I shared with said that he liked the story and wanted more stories so He allowed me to download to him another one that had the story of Abraham and the sacrifice of his son which coincides with the festival that they celebrate this time of year.
The B team is having great success in doors being opened because of  their baby girl who is on the trip. They have received a couple of invitations to meet people in their homes as well as just making great discussion starters. She hasn't cried a bit since we left home and the people here can not resist her charm.
Lisa and Cheryl are busy visiting and sharing in the local markets along with our own "A" who is serving here in the AP.
Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to have a time of worship with all our team and the workers here at A's apartment. It is always a special treat to worship alongside those who are on the front line of sharing the good news in this part of the world.
Thanks for your continued prayers.
Mark
