You don't need mirrors if you don't drive within the lines.

Our 10 days in Lebanon were much different than we had anticipated.  We performed only 4 small, organized events among the "Christian" areas of Lebanon and did 3 spontaneous street shows in a Muslim area by the seaside.  These last 3 shows were a highlight of our tour as we drew quite a crowd and shared the message of Hope with the many relaxing by the sea.  We connected and prayed with several people individually and hope to stay in touch with some.

Because our performance schedule was not as full as we would have liked, our team spent extra time in meaningful Bible study and prayer for the unreached countries of the world.

Our principal transportation was probably the most unsafe vehicle we have ridden in anywhere in the world.  The outside of the vehicle had no mirrors and no working tail-lights.  Inside, only the driver had a seatbelt and none of the back seats were secured, resulting in everyone sliding around on all the mountain switchbacks that we drove every time we went to town.  In spite of this, God kept us safe through a tire blow out, running out of gas and a broken accelerator cable.
