Michigan to Palestine

Friends:

Many of you know Nate Dannison, or, as my mom calls him, "your friend who rides the train." Nate is a friend, brother, and CTS colleague, and he's doing an FTE summer ministry program in Palestine this summer. He's about a week into his Palestine time, and he's posting some pretty incredible stuff over on his blog, http://michigantopalestine.blogspot.com/

He was originally planning to build a playground while he's there, and he's still going to that, but he's added studying Arabic, investigating the architecture of the church of the nativity, and serving as an emt with the Red Crescent. (True to form, Dannison, true to form.)

Check it out, and keep him and his new friends in your prayers.

I too know some people doing some great works for humanity around the globe! I will keep your friend in my prayers.

Another worthy cause/adventure: two University of Illinois students are trying to set up a social network for small Latin American NGOs.

Their work is featured (and their fund raising!) at thepoint.

Good luck to your friend!
