We are so thankful for our boys and that they enjoyed their summer vacation. Jack and Daniel are ready for school to start (Maybe Kay is a bit more ready than the boys.), after a long summer of camps and swimming at the pool. This year our third son, John, begins school, where they have started a new program that will be taught in both Hebrew and Arabic. Sam, the youngest, has started walking and is creeping along into the "terrible two" stage, but we are all enjoying watching him grow and change daily. Kay continues to volunteer at the Sunbula crafts shop, selling handiwork made by Palestinian women. The proceeds from the embroidery are returned to help the Palestinian women, and Kay very much enjoys her time there. Salim is still working on the final stages of his Ph.D. He will be glad to finish the final corrections, so that more will be free for the activities at Musalaha, the Bethlehem Bible College, and of course, family. Bible college classes begin in the first week of September, and we pray for the Lord’s leading as the college continues to grow. Furthermore, Chris Wright from the Anglican School, and I have finished and two theology textbooks that will be used for religious instruction in Christian schools. We had some difficulty in finding a graphic designer, but have published the first edition and are waiting for a response from the school systems before printing the second text.
