We leave for the airport in about an hour. A long flight to Frankfurt, Germany, an eight hour layover, and then the final four hour flight to Amman, Jordan. It will be a long journey. It gives Dee and me plenty of time to talk, think, pray and sleep. This is our first trip to the Middle East, but it is not a Holy Land tour. We will be visiting Mission of Mercy supported projects in Jordan and Lebanon. We'll travel from Amman to Beirut by car, so we'll travel through and spend the night in Damascus, Syria. We will conclude by going into the West Bank of Israel to determine the needs of children there.
We know that this will be a once-in-a-lifetime journey. We will see and experience things well off the beaten path. Our hosts know the culture of the Middle East well. I have a feeling that we will get a very unique perspective and that we will come back changed.
I'll do my best to blog as I have the opportunity. I'll post pictures where possible. Please keep us in prayer. We will be on the go for two weeks. I look forward to learning much more about this historical area of the world.

Wow. Wish I was going with you. One of the little ladies that I sponsor lives in Jordan. If it all possible please say hello to Farah G Amari for me at the Zarqa School were she attends. I pray for this precious little angel and her family everyday. Will keep you in prayer. Thank you so much for all you do!
We will not be visiting this school. But thanks for your prayers, and for sponsoring her.
