i'm blogging from egypt

Yes, mainly to just be able to say it, I'm actually sitting in Luxor, Egypt, overlooking the Luxor Temple...blogging. Weird, huh? 

Things are going great. Our teams begins ministering at the orphanage tomorrow. In the meantime its been mostly travel (including a 12-hour train ride last night). A couple of hours ago we took a boat ride on the Nile river (on a felucca). It's sheer madness that I'm actually in Egypt right now, riding boats on the Nile, climbing on pyramids...

We're all very tired but safe and healthy. We're excited to meet and minister the orphans. 

More updates to come (but probably not before Friday). Thanks for praying for us. 

Gotta go.

Welcome Back

Hello Small Talkers,

Glad to see you back and I hope you will utilize this venue. We all have so much to share and I am looking forward to learning what God is doing in our ministries.

Please keep John Bunn and a group of six others from NewPointe in your prayers as they travel to Egypt for a short term missions trip. They are leaving today and have a full week of ministry ahead of them.

Teresa and I are planning to attend the Drive Conference (www.driveconference.org) May
5-7 in Alpharetta, GA. Are any of you planning to attend? Let us know so we can perhaps do some planning together.

Have a great week and stay in touch,

Scott B
