At home with Ambassadors?

Today will be very unusual. I'm invited to both the USA and British ambassadors' homes. That is because of my position as their representative in Sousse. My title is warden.

Heavenly Father, give the Farhos safe travels again to Tunis in a tiny rental car. Give them grace as they attend these important meetings.

Send us your questions advice, comments or prayer requests!

Grateful for your prayers

Thanksgiving 2008
in Sousse with the Millers

As Thanksgiving Day approaches in the USA, we'd like to express our gratitude to you. You are making a difference in our lives, ministry and each person we meet everyday. We cannot measure the power of prayer. If you ever feel ineffectual, it is just a feeling. The reality is beyond your imagination. Pray assured that God is listening to and answering your prayers.

Thank You Heavenly Father for giving the Farhos such an amazing team of prayer partners. Bless each one with joy as they pray. Give us Your Holy Spirit's guidance as we pray each day.

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.

Ramadan Karim

Wish your Muslim friends, neighbors and co-workers a happy Ramadan. Kindness is so important in our relationships. We don't know what Ramadan will be like here in Sousse. It will be our first time starting this week. We're told to expect all the restaurants and cafes to be closed during the days. We wonder where tourists will eat!

Heavenly Father, make the Farhos a real blessing to their Muslim neighbors. Give them patience as life will change dramatically in Sousse during Ramadan.
