Today we met with Dr. Bryson Arthur from Scotland. Dr. Arthur is the President of the Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (aka, NETS). He was very supportive of the idea of Young Life in the Middle East and talked about ways they could partner with us. It was a very encouraging meeting all the way around. Later, we went to a nearby national park called Sachne (aka Gan Hashlosha National Park) with the Green family. Randy and Stacy Green are from Chicago and have lived here for 3 years. Randy works at the school part time and teaches some classes at the Seminary. He and Stacy have been very helpful about offering practical advice about what life is like for Americans in the Middle East. They have 4 children (ages 2-12), the 7, 9 and 12 year old attend the Baptist school and are all fluent in Arabic. The park was great fun. We enjoyed a nice picnic, swam in the natural springs and played under the waterfalls. Beautiful.
