Thank you all for the many prayers. And thank you to those who met us at the airport to wish us farewell and to pray over us before we left. We know that those who were not physically there were there in spirit.
We have arrived safely in Beirut! Thankfully the travel here was only the uneventful, boring, and typical lines and tightly packed seating arrangements of the plane. No luggage or people got lost, no hassles at any of the Customs kiosks, no major disruptions to our travel plans. No misunderstandings in any of the language, custom laden, and to us, foreign, airports of Europe. Essentially smooth sailing all the way here. Even meeting our missionaries at the airport for the first time was smooth and happy!
We were taken to a delicious dinner at a small and very authentic family-owned restaurant. We sat outside in the pleasant breeze, shaded from the sun, on a patio that is overlooks the city. It was marvelous!
Tonight we will explore our new, desert-urban seminary surroundings and then relax and sleep soundly after our nearly twenty hours of travel.
Thank you Jesus, for this grand adventure, Your presence and protection in foreign lands, and for the work You have prepared for us to do. May we honor and glorify You in all that we do and say here. Bless our hands and feet that they might do Your work through Your strength and perfect guidance. We love and we praise You! Amen.
