We returned to the camp for breakfast and then loaded the bus for our trip to Petra. It was tough to say good-bye to Sun City Camp, which for GTI is like a second home. On the way...

After breakfast and an early morning devotional study of Genesis 15 on the shore of the Nile, we boarded our bus for a family-owned brick making factory where they are still making bricks the same way they have for thousands of years. Getting our hands in the muck ourselves, we experienced a bit of the...
