We finished the Call2Worship yesterday with a joyous celebration of new songs of praise to our God!
I was impressed by the quality of these songs and blessed by the hearts of the students as they sang to Jesus. I have no doubt that this investment will be far-reaching; no only here in Egypt but among the nations.
Today we are free and are enjoying some rest as we prepare to return to Holland tomorrow afternoon.
Refreshing rains have come to this desert place, beginning last night and even this morning. I'm amazed at how violent the weather can be in such a short time. You can see the wind coming across the desert as the dust rises in the distance. Then the breeze hits you and you quickly take shelter. There's no such thing as a gentle rain, just a sudden torrent of drops impacting the dry ground and immediately disappearing as they're soaked up greedily into the ground.
Living in Holland I coexist with rain much of the year... but I found myself singing: "Let it Rain!" as the relief from the dust began this morning. Never thought I'd be so thankful to see rain. Africans always equate rain with God's blessing. This gives me new insight into the Scriptures.
Thank you for your faithful prayers while I've been here. Please pray us through until we reach Dutch soil again late Sunday evening.
You can be sure that we've seen God's Kingdom come and His will was done during these days.
Blessings, Belinda
