With Lane Alderman, pastor of Roswell Presbyterian.

Our last day in Atlanta gave us the opportunity to worship at Roswell Presbyterian Church, which had thrown a Christmas party for the children of Zababdeh. The Senior Pastor Lane Alderman interviewed us for a couple of minutes in each worship service, and we gave our program between the two services with over one hundred people. We had a great discussion, but not enough time. There is an exciting energy alive in that church, and we feel like we are just beginning to explore our relationship with them.

Dinner with friends in Louisville.

After lunch with Marthame's parents and another of his cousins (how many are there?), we headed off to Louisville with good Kentucky God-fearing bluegrass as our soundtrack and fried pork rinds in our bellies, arriving in time to stay with good friends and their incredible dancing dogs!
