On Wednesday, March 11, Pastor Mike and Carrol left to visit their children and grandchildren in Amman, Jordan. Within days, the Corona Virus that had impacted only selected parts of the world quickly spread everywhere and one after another, country leaders began to take action. This included the closing of the airport with no immediate way to get home. ... Finally, after several unsuccessful attempts to get out, they boarded a plane and came home on April 9.

Pastor Mike is posting this weekly blog to share observations and insights gleaned both during and after his trip, reflecting on the global crisis and ways that God could be seen in the midst of it all.
