December already. Vern is working on the year-end financial report while our outreaches are moving on. Terri began
helping two Arab staff members to repair the terribly run-down houses in the two refugee camps and in Jericho proper. You
should see the terrible conditions people live in because they either don't have finances to fix up their houses or they don't
know how to do repairs. We feel we need to teach both men and women in a 'Do-it-yourself' class.
Steve, our newest volunteer,
is discipling two Arab Christians the Lord sent to us. We love them greatly. He is also renting a large flat with 7 bedrooms
that will be used in multiple ways, discipling classes, women's meetings, men's meetings, children and youth meetings. The
landlord, a doctor, is so gracious to us. The flat hasn't been rented for ten years. The Lord has been holding it for Living
Bread International to use.
