Todd, Lou and Sue just left for the airport in Tel Aviv so now there are six…

We worshiped today at Emmanuel Church here in Bethlehem.  It is a Christian Palestinian Church.  The service was translated into English for us via head phones.  The Church was full and we enjoyed the music.  We met with the Pastor and he shared his story, struggles and needs of the Church.  His message was on God’s comfort.  Prayers for brothers and sisters in Gaza were a large part of the service.   “Blessed are those who mourn for they will be comforted.”

After Church we went to lunch and walked back to BBC.  The guys met with Bishara to see what the construction plan is.  We will begin tomorrow morning working on a fence and doing some painting.

We again walked to a local food stand for supper and the fruit market to purchase fruit for breakfast.

Todd, Lou and Sue left around 7:30 the beginning of a 14 hour flight to Atlanta.
