Update from Jordan

Greetings.  The tech toys are not working well in Jordan; batteries are fading fast so I am dictating this note to my ghostwriter.

Hanna Massad, a Palestinian pastor known to many at Calvary, spoke to the group today after they crossed the border into Jordan.  With passion and compassion, he spoke of the conflicts in the Middle East, his ministry in Gaza in the midst of Hamas and his ministry now in Jordan with Iraqi refugees.

Passing Bedouin encampments and shepards with their sheep, the Tripsters made their way to Petra where they will spend Sunday following worship led by Brian Henderson.

All is good and the group is travelling well.

Blessings, Mary (via Steve)
