"Building Bridges of Love and Understanding"

Good morning!  Daoud Nassar, director of the Tent of Nations Project, arrived on Sunday for his 12th U.S Tour.  He left yesterday, October 21st, for Cincinnati where he will begin with a bible study with friends there, and visit a local high school before joining me in Detroit at the Israael/Palestine Mission Network meeting.  Then, he will be on to Hartford, CT with Tree of Life churches before heading to Atlanta and Americus, Georgia where he will embrace a shared experience with the farmers of Koinonia.  Early in November we will travel to N.W Ohio once again to meet  with farmers and students of that region who have supported the Tent of Nations program vigorously in the past. He will then return to the Washington, D.C area with meetings with State Department officials, local University Peace and Justice programs, and presentations in Virginia to several church communities before heading home on November 14 where he and I will join together in Bethlehem.

Once again I feel called to travel to the region where there is so much darkness these days but
where there is also light.  It is in the darkness that I find light, a shining light of hope
and a path where Jesus once walked in a different time, and still does today.
