Farho Update Opinions

We're enjoying Fall weather for the first time as residents in Africa. We froze here in Tunisia last Fall, when we were studying Arabic here. Now we really are enjoying it :-)

Heavenly Father, thank You for all the members of the Farho prayer team. Encourage us all as we join together in prayer each week.

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.

Jellyfish and Tunisians

We had a fun evening, after work at the beach, with 3 Tunisian families. They only spoke Arabic, but we enjoyed being together. Sue and I were tired and wondering how we could get Joshua to go home before it got too dark. Then he left the other kids and came out of the sea. A jellyfish stung him and the 3 year old girl. So we walked to the pharmacy and home. The pharmacist said, "You don't need medicine. Just soak it in hot water for 15 min!" Joshua just went to bed and can't remember which leg was stung!

Thank You Heavenly Father for the Farho's neighborhood friends and honest pharmacist. As Muslims around the world prepare for their 30 days of Ramadan fasting, open their hearts to their Christian neighbors.

Farho Family Blog

If you would like to know more about our personal lives, we have several Web resources that will help you to know us better. For photos and little comments, go to our Family blog.

You will find photos dating from 1974 to present from USA, France, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, and Tunisia. We're trying to add more photos daily. We also have daily updates by at least Mike and sometimes from Sue, John and Joshua at our home page.

Heavenly Father, give Mike and Sue wisdom as they help people in Tunisia with very difficult problems. Give them patience, love and understanding in each relationship You provide.

What a great Easter week!

Hope your Easter celebrations were as much fun as ours. We enjoyed many meaningful services all last week. It was special to enjoy an Easter meal at my sister's house too. It won't be long and we'll be many miles from family and friends. We wish we had more time to visit everyone personally, but rejoice in these weekly moments together with you!

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving Mike, Sue and Joshua such wonderful times with family and friends in USA. Give them strength for each day.
