Here are just a few thoughts as we start this journey:
Our journey takes us from one of the wealthiest of countries to the poorest of Middle Eastern countries. The contrasts are significant as we leave fluorescently decorated exteriors of one airport with advertisements done in hologram-like characters in Dubai to a third world area that is struggling to maintain electricity.
Surprise! When people on the various airlines have realized where we are going, the response is always that of utter surprise. How awesome it is to surprise people with the love of the Father! While many are living in fear when it comes to this unreached people, a few of our best are living here as our Ambassadors! Visitors are so rare that we feel like royalty as we enter this country. Our ambassadors have even rearranged their schedules in order to greet us and show us the beauty of this people. Why have our gatherings neglected this choice group so much? I am so excited to be going although there is trepidation from time to time. The people are so warm and friendly.
