This new year is starting off right with TONS of exciting stuff happening here at Bedouins.  Just to catch you up…we’ve moved into a new/improved office space (See photo below).  It’s really a fantastic place, and has enough space/light to provide a great meeting space, work space, live space and now, daylight studio space.  Come visit us anytime…we’d love to have you!

Also, within the first 16 days of the year we’ve already begun looking at proposed projects and trips to 7…yes…I said 7 different countries.  Kenya, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Bolivia and Egypt.  We have no clue what God has in store for us…but we do know that whatever it is it’s going to be amazing.

On a more firm note…I leave for Kenya in 9 days to do a project with Integrity Worldwide.  I can’t wait.  I’ll write a more in-depth blog on it in a few days…but be praying for the project please!

One last update…along the same theme as Jessi’s last post.  After our article ran in the Birmingham Newspaper a few weeks ago I got a phone call from the Christian Index out of Deluth, GA about re-running the article in their publication, which just happens to be the oldest Christian Newspaper in the Country.  Of course I said yes, and today I found a package of the issue in my mailbox.  Here’s a pic of it and click HERE for a larger and hopefully readable version!  Thanks for keeping up…stay tuned, lots on the horizon!

the new loft as we moved in…I’ll have a video tour of it soon!

the article in the Christian Index

It is unreal how many people have actually heard of Bedouins International. I used to tell people where I worked and they would respond with blank stare, now I say that work with Bedouins International and I get responses like “Really?” or “Oh yeah, I know the Bedouins.” Super strange.

This might have something to do with the fact that we’ve been getting some cool press lately…Birmingham News ran a feature article on the first page of the Religion section on Saturday. We’ve gotten so many good responses from that article (thanks Greg!)

I am so excited to see where this new year is going to take us. We already have some great trips lined up (Mexico, Guatemala, Kenya!!!), and so many people yet to meet.

*sigh*

I cannot wait.
