Lots has happened since I last posted here! We've had non-stop guests for the last 2 weeks and many wonderful people at our dinner table. 2 special friends from Deltona, FL came for a week and painted in the Lighthouse and sewed curtains, along with other misc jobs. The photos are below. The place looks so homey now and the sound problem is much better now that we have wall hangings and curtains around.
The last picture is of our Sunday morning brunch with Germans and Syrians in attendance. Perhaps the biggest news is that Pastor Geryes (not pictured) arrived on Oct 20th! Unfortunately his wife and son had to stay behind until their visa is processed. Geryes felt sure that the Lord was leading him to come ahead and his wife gave her blessing for that. He hit the ground running - on the train home from the airport, he was giving out New Testaments and tracts and inviting people to the Lighthouse. The next day we were all out on the street, in buses and trains, giving Bibles and talking to Arabs. He kept a list of all the names and he is praying for each one by name. Yesterday when I arrived at the Lighthouse, the Arabic praise music was playing and he was walking around the center praying in a loud voice! We are excited to partner with this man of God and can't wait to see what transpires in the coming days and weeks.
