Bahrain

When we arrived at the airport and were going through customs the official wanted to know what was in the long bag (my 12 foot cross in 3 six foot sections). I showed him and said it was wood. He wanted to know what the wood was for and I told him it was my cross. He asked, “It's not gold is it?' “No," I replied and he waved us through!

Denise, my wife and I went to an area near the bridge to Saudi Arabia and carried the cross all across this island nation. This was a very friendly place as I talked to people from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, India, Philippians, U.S and so many other nations I have forgotten.

We had a powerful time. No one said anything bad to us and we prayed with several people to welcome Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

A pilgrim follower of Jesus,
