Jerusalem Sabbatical

I originally created my blog to post my reflections on my sabbatical experience in Jerusalem in 2006. I have also used it to post my thoughts and ideas about being a church for the next generation. Now I hope to use it to blog about my third time in Israel, volunteering with Bridges for Peace!

Every day on the way to our church, we stop for treats at "Soriana's" grocery store and at our favorite bakery. Megan bought bread every day and offered it to the children who were hungry.



For some reason, our team got bathroom duty three times this year! (Did you know that in Mexico, you don't put your toilet paper in the toilet, but in the wastebasket provided next to where you're sitting? That's what's in the white bag Norma is holding. It's always a pleasure to clean these out...)


Chapel happens every morning, with lots of music included.


This year's chapel speaker was Brad Buser. He is a New Tribes missionary, having spent twenty years in Papua, New Guinea with the unreached people group, the Iteris. He "punched us in the face" with his challenging words to live a life of sold out obedience to Jesus. (Watch my blog next week for more on this...)
