Friday, November 5th Update

Friday, Nov.5

Today was a real treat as we were able to go for a ride about an hour North of Beirut to a town called Byblos.  It is supposed to be the oldest continually occupied city in the world.  It contained ruins that date back "5,000" years.  I'll let the pro's argue that one but it was the first time I have seen ruins from that far back and it really was interesting. Just reading of how many known empire's had fallen over that period on this ground was amazing.
 

While traveling, we had another good history lesson on the various "issues" surrounding this area.  It really is complicated but it's comforting to know that our great God is totally in control no matter what man thinks or does.

Tomorrow we finish the design of the new system and begin to put together a material list.  Please pray that I don't miss anything important. They told us today of one child that was taken to the hospital for electrical burns from the chain link fence that had become energized and another adult that was badly burned and hospitalized just cutting a phone line that had somehow become energized.  We are truly here for a purpose.

We will leave for the airport at 4am Sunday morning heading back to London and then down to Sierra Leone.  Thanks for following us in prayer and hopefully we will be back on line next week sometime. 

Serving Together,

Tom & Linda
