Trinity Family in the Middle East

I never thought that the Middle East would be where I would have a chance to meet up with Jerry and Jane Bridges, but that is exactly what happened. Upon realizing that we would both be travelling to the same country at the same time, we began emailing in order to figure out a time and a place to meet. Even though the Bridges don't live in Oregon, we would all agree that they are a part of our Trinity/Hillcrest family, so seeing them would be like seeing someone from home. Praise the Lord, we were able to meet for dinner the Monday night of our trip and had a wonderful time of fellowship. As they were leaving, I overheard Jerry Bridges telling Darren, "JoAnna's church family is very special to us. They are very dear people." I have to say, I agree with him 100%.
