hello everyone,

I wanted to let you know what a week looks like for me here in Lebanon.

Monday is usually the day I rest. Except on the first Monday of the month which is an evangelism meeting.

I have a leaders meeting on Tuesday. Then I go to a youth leaders meeting as well. I usually get home around midnight.

On Wednesday I go with the guys in my small group and we go minister in different people homes. Last week our leader shared Jesus with the taxi driver. He may come to the evangelism meeting on Monday. These guys are really becoming good friends. They have a heart to bring their people to Jesus. They are very bold in their faith. We make a good team.

On Thursday I attend a small group of some guys in the youth. I help the leader in any way I can.

On Friday I attend the Arabic service.

On Saturday I attend the youth service.

On Sunday I go to the English service, the school of leaders class that Mary Beth's teaches, and the Arabic service at Night.

Next week, I'll will be starting the Arabic language classes during the day.

I stay busy, but I am loving every minute of it. I love to encourage people and so many have already told me that I have encouraged them. I am so thankful that God would allow me to be in fellowship with these believers. They give so much to the Lord on a daily basis.

Three weeks

Well I finally feel settled here. I am getting into the routine of ministry here. The believers here are amazing. I believe I am making life long friends.
The youth ministry is tonight and I am looking forward to bringing some ideas to the youth ministry and serving any way I can.
The young people here are awesome.

There is a leaders conference next week and I am really excited about. Speakers form Global Advance and the Global 12 project will be here. It is going to be awesome. I have been helping them prepare for it.

Its funny because I usually go eat lunch around three at the store around the corner and every time I have been there the power goes out. Its like clock work. They tell me to get use to it.
Life here is different. They have no sound laws here. They were working on constructing a building near mine at one in the morning. The hammering and welding got pretty annoying, and
the people love to use their horns in their cars.

Despite all this I love it here. I really just began to pray to God as I was at lunch today.
May the Lord touch Lebanon and use the believers here to change the Middle East forever. I am so thankful that God has allowed me to play a small smart in His great Plan.

Blessings
