So, I am back in the States, finished with this summer's world tour. Recovery is slow. We had three more days in Israel since my last post. Places traveled were Mt. Carmel, Caesarea, and Jerusalem. The climb at Carmel is grueling but well worth it when you hear the faith lesson at the top about Elijah's fiery passion. Caesarea was yet another location that demonstrated the ultimate futility of living life like Herod. All of his architecture has crumbled, his riches are gone. The Kingdom of Heaven is still here. Jerusalem was amazing, and there was so much to see and learn. Hezekiah's tunnel, the pools of Siloam and Bethesda, the Western Wall, and the Mt. of Olives are just a few places that we visited.
So what is next? At AHUMC we will be focusing on both local and international mission. Fishing Under the Bridge and the Foundry are a couple of great opportunties for those of you who would like to impact the world in our own backyard. We will also be gathering information for future mission trips to Piedras Negras, Mexico and Los Guidos, Costa Rica. Please send me an email if you would like to be connected to any of these ministries or have any questions.

"Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?"
Isaiah 58:6
