MICHAEL BRYANT: We arrived at Petra early Friday morning and had the place mostly to ourselves. Tourism, one of Jordan's primary sources of income, has been almost non-existent since the US and Israel began bombing Iran. The Bedouin merchants and guides at Petra, as well as everyone else we have met selling anything in Jordan, asked us to tell you that Jordan is very safe and very open for business. They invite you all to come as soon as possible. We concur. It is a wonderful place to visit. Even with a war on in the neighborhood.

MICHAEL BRYANT: We began this day with the Grace Church staff, enjoying a very yummy breakfast together followed by an opportunity to encourage our friends with selected short readings from the Scriptures and prayers inspired by the themes of the readings by each team member.  

CINDY BRYANT: Greetings from Mahatta in Amman, Jordan. Our fifth day on this mission project was filled with interesting information, plenty of emotions, and shopping till we dropped!

SIENNA MITCHELL: Today our team hosted a women's conference at Grace Church. We had a good sized crowd of women, who seemed to appreciate the topics of emotions like loneliness, fear, and envy. We played some games and they all got to color a page with Proverbs 3:5 on it.

ROSEBUD HOWREN: Hello to all of our sweet Church Family back in RVA in the US. And greetings to you from your Jordan Team and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ here in Amman. We are surely seeing the hand of the Lord everywhere we visit here.

YVONNA FRAZER: This morning, our team was warmly welcomed by the Nazarene Church in Al-Ashrafieh where we were blessed by spirit-filled singing and preaching.

Melanie Jones: Our first full day here in Jordan started a breakfast of traditional foods -- hummus, fresh falafel, fresh pita bread, and yogurt with honey and jam.  

Michael Bryant: Our team arrived in Amman today. We have met Pastor Wasim and moved into our apartments at Grace Church.
