Postcard from Jordan


Some news of Peter R. ( Jordan) I was able to visit with Peter in April for several days. He was busy with language study (now with a tutor) and doing some IT work to generate income to fund future study plans. We joined in his bible study group (all non English speaking Christians in Jordan to learn Arabic for mission work) and had dinner with his Jordanian tutor and family, as well as visiting the Jordan River for a baptism and exploring some ancient sites in Amman and Jerash.


Peter's flat seemed to be a bit of a drop-in centre as he is very welcoming and hospitable to expats and locals alike. His Arabic was in use constantly when we were out and about. Peter has just completed a unit of study at the University of Jordan and hopes to do more next year with the ultimate goal of working on the campus. He will be back in Perth in July and looking forward to catching up with us all in Perth.


Keep praying for Peter's friendships with locals and expats and opportunities to talk about Jesus. Pray for good health and continued progress in language study.


Ask for guidance in the time back in Perth and in plans for the future in Jordan.
