Back to Jordan

We were able to go into Damascus. It was fun to see the wailing wall. And it was interesting to see the three major religions doing so much in one small area. When we got back to Bethlehem we were able to meet up with a Palestinian Refugee, he showed us all over his refugee camp and talk to us about why they are there. We couldn't believe the amount of hope that he had for his people, even in the midst of poor living conditions. The camp was about the size of a football field and over 2000 people live there, with 50% being under 18. I think we all were impressed with how much they are doing to make the camp nicer for their kids. They are almost done making a youth center and "city hall" for the camp. They are trying to be able to do everything they can to get the conflict solved.

We made it back to Jordan today. We did our first church service. We had a lot of fun praying for and encouraging the people of the church. We are in Madaba which is a medium size town south of Amman. We were able to have a little down time today,which was nice for a change. We leave in the morning to go to Petra and Wadi Rum. We will be back the day after to work with youth of the church and to do a worship concert!

I hope to have more pics up in the next couple days. We appreciate your continued prayer for our trip.

thanks,
