| As part of a church gathering in October, we visited Islamic Cairo. Here we are inside Al-Azhar Mosque. This mosque was originally built in AD 970. We had our picture taken by the mihrab . In every mosque you will find a mihrab, a niche that indicates the direction of Mecca. |

| Paul and some church members, Daniel, Mark, and Nazli are standing outside of Al-Azhar Mosque. |

| Paul and Pastor Peter. Behind them is a picture of the St. Andrew's church building. |
 |
| There are several congregations that meet at St. Andrew's. Here Paul is guest preaching at one of the Sudanese congregations. Next to him is the interpreter who did a great job interpreting Paul's sermon. |
 |
| These children attend school at St. Andrew's, one of the programs run by St. Andrew's Refugee Services. The blue buildings are classrooms. Stephanie teaches some of the older children in this picture. |
 |
| We finally made it Egypt's top tourist attraction, the Pyramids of Giza. They are huge! We went with a visiting pastor from the states, Susan. Thanks Susan! |
I was just looking at these pictures and, I must say, the one of Paul preaching is classic. Look at the seriousness on that face: must be the "law" part of the sermon. Hopefully there was a big grin to accompany the "gospel."
ReplyDeleteHi Garret. The night we chose this picture was pretty fun. Looking through the options we saw that I took several pictures and in all of them but one, it looking like he might have been hooting like a monkey, ooh, ooh, ooh. I think I must push the button every time he says "you". But seriously, turns out to be pretty hard to get a nice picture of someone talking. Hope you're doing well!
