As you can tell by my title (and for those of you who are around me all the time and have heard me mention it.....oh, about 1000 times) my brother and I are traveling to Morocco for Christmas. We leave, today, Friday and return to the States on January 1st.
I am absolutely excited for many reasons! First off, we're getting to go to Morocco....enough said! I've wanted to visit the country for over ten years. Secondly, I'm excited for the opportunity to visit an officially Muslim country. Though I was exposed to Islam quite a bit in Lebanon, the community that I lived in there, Mansourieh, was Christian and reflected the religious diversity in the country. Finally, it's one of my last chances to take a trip with my brother for some time. As many of you know my brother is my favorite travel companion. We share the same philosophy in travel, ie. lots of street food, small hotels/hostels and experiencing as much of the authentic culture as we can.
This is my first time being out of the country for Christmas (and in a country that is not Christian) but that does not minimize my well wishes to you! Thank you to all of you who have prayed for, encouraged, supported and met with me about my upcoming ministry in Rwanda. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May we all remember the "reason for the season" and experience first hand the love and the character of a God who sent his son to be the sacrifice for our sins.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
