Tuesday was the last day to enjoy Bahrain, and I spent sometime walking the streets and alleys as well as enjoying down-time at the Al Raja school to use their internet. In the afternoon Maja took me to the Suk for some last-minute gifts to bring home.
The plane didn’t leave until midnight, so the RCA mission personnel gathered for a lovely dinner, hosted by Dr. Paul and Rebecca Armerding. It was a joy-filled night. In the pictures below you’ll see three young women who are recent college grads and volunteers at the Al Raja school and you’ll see Apu and Lollie, supported by American Reformed in Orange City to be a chaplain at the hospital.
As from the first moment I experienced the mission work here, I cannot help but leave impressed that these servants of the Lord as simply following Jesus each day in mission. Sometimes they have a ministry of presence, sometimes of words, sometimes of word and deeds, but all their work is leveraging a foundation for the gospel that is salt and light in the world, and I’m so pleased to be able to have experienced this week in Bahrain.
