Q. How do we feel? Seven Feelings:

1. Awed by what God is doing through dedicated broadcasters telling the old, old story through the new, new technology of satellite TV and video streaming.

2. Moved by the hardships people, especially Christian brothers and sisters, are enduring in the Israeli-Arab conflict and other restricted situations.

3. Appreciative of our hosts' warm hospitality, longing for connections with other Christians, and repeated thanks for coming to see them and listening to their stories and dreams.

4. Burdened by people's immense spiritual needs and physical poverty across the Middle East, yet relying on God,s sovereignty and His guidance to each person.

5. Refreshed with times together singing, praying, and reading relevant scriptures on-location at sites we visit.

6. Inspired with new understanding of Christ's humanity...and His divinity.

7. Desiring now all-the-more to worship and to serve Christ our Lord.
