Visitors, Bishop, Veterans

We learned a lot and were very encouraged by our visitors, Bob and Craig, from USA. As we visited and prayed at some of the most famous Christian and Muslim locations in North Africa, our hearts were touched forever. Yesterday, we had an encouraging visit with the Bishop of Tunisia in Tunis. He provides the Sousse Church a sanctuary for worship on

Joshua in the cemetery

Sundays. Tomorrow, we drive to Carthage, north of Tunis, to a memorial service at the 27-acre North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial in Tunisia where 2,841 of our American military dead are buried. They gave their lives to liberate North Africans from Nazi tyranny. Read more at the North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial website

Heavenly Father, comfort our grieving veterans and their families. Remind us daily about their sacrifices and their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Bless the Farhos with a safe round trip to Tunis.

Grateful for your partnership in prayer,

Mike and Sue Farho

Sousse Catacombs

Today, Joshua and I went on a field trip to the Good Shepherd Catacombs. From some time after 70 AD until 312 AD, it was the graveyard for the Christians in Sousse. It is estimated that over 15,000 Christians are buried there. We're sure grateful those days are over. We are also grateful for the beautiful sanctuary where we worship each Sunday. You can see photos at our new website http://SousseChurch.org and at Facebook even if you aren't a member!

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the martyrs who gave their lives for their faith in Jesus. Encourage us to love You more than our earthly lives.

106F today in Sousse

We will apply for our visa in two weeks. We're grateful for the opportunity to reach the world here in Sousse. Joshua had a great two weeks, with kids from Tunis. You can see photos of our recent adventures at our Farho family blog.

We added a facebook page this week for the Sousse Church. It has a few photos of our church. We are amazed how calm it is here for Ramadan, with few cars on the roads 24 hours a day. It is nothing like Abidjan.

Heavenly Father, smooth the process for the Farho's visa. Continue to bless the Sousse Church with good attendance. Protect the people of Sousse as they fast from food and water during daylight hours.
