We had a wonderfull time in Israel filled with spiritual highs and lows! Living in Palestine (Bethlehem) and serving in Jerusalem was a very enlightening contrast to our expectations!
Debriefing in Dahab has been such a blessing! Warm weather, beautiful snorkeling just off the shore and fellowshipping and interacting with locals! Great nightlife, beautiful scenery! and just the vibe is so amazing! Taking time to grow into a closer relationship with God and spending lots of time in His word is very needed and a blessing!
I was very pleased to meet Bush Bush, a guy who owns a shop around the corner from where we live who is also a Christian and still had the photos of teams from the previous year! Then it struck me how great an impact you make or leave behind when you fellowship in love. When he pulled the photos from the top shelf behind his counter his face lit up and he put the pics in my hand saying: "See, see I have best friends in South Africa." and he started naming names of the team last year and Explore Africa 2010!
What a blessing to the see the fruit of Global Challenges seed (only one of them) Please pray for him, to have fellow christians in Dahab with whom he can fellowship after we leave and a deepening relationship with God!
For the rest, we are enjoying the lovely weather and time of reflection in DA BUSINESS!
