This entry is especially for my sister in Alabama, who attended the University of Alabama!We were visiting with one of our trainers in a small village in the Gaza province and this young lady came to talk with us. She attends a bible study that our trainer (Jose Carlos on the left) teaches. I had great fun talking with her about her shirt - it was an opportunity for relationship. She had no idea what the shirt said or signified - now she does - not that it is really all that important!
The shirt probably came here through an aid organization - we see all sorts of T-shirts with various US organization logos on them. For those of you who don't know - I essentially grew up in Alabama and Auburn and Alabama are long rivals. Of course I always laugh and say that I looked around when I was a senior in high school in Huntsville, Alabama and tried to pick - Auburn or Alabama. But I decided I wanted to go to college, so I went to the University of Tennessee!! ;-). (another great football rivalry!)
The box you see the man on the right holding is a box of bibles in the local dialect that we brought up for Jose Carlos to help with his bible study. The study is already talking about being a church!
Thank you Lord for this young lady you have drawn to you!
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;" 1Pe 3:15
