Friday in the AP

Friday is a holy day here in the AP. We spent the morning at A's apartment with our team, the workers and several other families who live here in this country. I got a chance to lead the group in some praise and worship, then we shared the Word together. Joshua the 16 year old son of R and K led out in the study of the Word. It was such a joy to be able to worship in a place that is covered in the darkness of Islam. We had to cover all the windows so that no one from the outside could see what we were doing inside. How often do we take our own worship for granted? In America we have total religious freedom. We closed the service by dividing into groups and sharing prayer requests.
Today (Saturday) we will return home. Before we leave we have a few hours to hopefully engage a few more people. J had a chance to share with a lady this morning as she had her hands done in henna. As I post this blog, the B's are having lunch with Mohamed, a man who works at the souk. They are excited about the opportunity to share the Truth with him.
This morning while on my run by the beach, I had a chance to briefly share with a man named Amin. Pray that God would open the eyes of Mohamed, Amin, the henna lady at the salon, and so many others that we have connected with this week.
Pray for our journey home and for all the flight connections to be made. We should arrive back in OK around 5:30 pm Sunday.
