It was a rare privilege to help lead a Journey Church mission trip to Bahrain (sponsored by the YMCA BAHRAIN) and the United Arab Emirates (sponsored by VOICE INTERNATIONAL) last week:

| Bahrain - In Concert |
While there the group had ministry in:
I was so proud of our ladies in presenting a WOMEN'S SHINE CONFERENCE in both Bahrain and Dubai as they shared personal life testimonies thru video and live to women in the region. I sensed the strong power of the Holy Spirit in the room at both conferences.
Three-thousand people filled the hall in Bahrain as our band and worship team ripped out two full hours of music and preaching. I love the way our team poured out their hearts, soul and guts to show the power and love of Jesus to the crowd. At this particular gathering, the Minister of Social Development of Bahrain came out to listen.
There was time to do a few fun things while there -- visit the Al Fateh Mosque in Bahrain, Atlantis in Dubai, and take part in a desert safari, including riding a camel. But it was all about the souls of men and women far from God in the 10/40 window as well as encourage believers who are living in a land hostile to the Gospel.
2 schools
2 women's conferences
7 churches
1 Naval base
3 concerts

Some of the places I was honored to speak were an Arabic Church, an African Church and a Filipino Church. I'm continually amazed at the bond forged between people of different lands thru the simple act of worshipping God. Seventy-five people stood to indicate they wanted to receive Christ at the latter church alone.

It was so much fun to watch our team to rooms full of children via videos, live teaching, games and songs.

It was also a great honor to reach out and minister at the Bahrain Naval Base. Sure, there was a problem with getting electricity to our equipment until 30 minutes before starting time, but we managed and God showed up.

Pray for Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

Indeed it was a blessing to have been a small part in the Bahrain event. Sending blessings to you, Anu and your sweet kids.
Please give mine and my family's love and regards to everyone whom we met and the Journey Church.
Pastor Kevin and team.. Thank you for all that you do and also for sharing this blog with us. As I was reading it here at work it really brought tears of joy and happiness knowing that we can go to other Countries and share and experience God!
