We left early this morning for a church service at the Ashrafiya Nazarene church in Jordan. It was an incredible service with people from 10 - 15 different countries attending. A member of our team, Tom Tarver, had the privilege of preaching and had an outstanding interpreter for the Arabic-speaking people. They are doing wonderful work ministering to the Middle-Eastern countries. Following the service, we left for our trip to the Dead Sea. It is the lowest point on earth, 1300 feet below sea level and is 1300 feet deep. There is no life in the Dead Sea as it approximately 25% salt/minerals. Only floating is recommended in the sea since the minerals & salt are very painful to get into the eyes. The "water" had the feel of floating in a bathtub of vegetable oil mixed with mud. It also leaves a film of oil on the skin. The water was very warm as the air temperature is extremely hot & humid. Several from our group covered themselves with the mud. It is supposed to be very good for the skin. Many lotions, etc. are made from the natural products from the sea. We returned to the Zarqa Nazarene church for our evening service. It was a very full day!
