Last Night Out

After returning from teaching pastors in Alexandria, it was back to Cairo for house church, a last evening out with the kids, preaching Sunday at FBC Cairo, and getting ready to fly out Monday. Tonight we went to the mall. I promised the kids a visit to Toys R Us. It is Ramadan and stores are closed at odd times. We got to the mall at 4:00 and Toys R Us was closed so we ate at On the Border. Toys R Us finally opened at 8:10 but to watch Matthew Ray, Madison and Meredith it was worth it!

Teaching Egyptian Pastors

The reason for this trip was to teach Egyptian Baptist pastors and talk about a partership in Theological Education. Matt accompanied to Alexandria for the teaching session but had to leave after the first day because of a serious eye infection. I was sad he was not there, but the teaching and relationship with the pastors was fantastic. There is nothing I enjoy more than teaching cross-cultural pastors.

A Date Night with Meredith

Meredith and I have been talking about a date night for months. Just the two of us went out to the Mall, to Maccaroni Grill, and then to have ice cream.

Back to Egypt

When I arrived, the first order of businsess was to open gifts. It is always such an exciting and happy time.
