Psalm 138:1-8  A Psalm of David 1 I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. 2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. 3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul. In verse 4 David said, “In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.”  David said that he prayed and cried out and God answered him and gave him inward strength to face his challenges. It is amazing how Psalm 138 is so fitting for our time in both India and Jordan these past several weeks! For sure the Lord has given us strength for this amazing journey! I can't thank you enough for your prayers and support. Today is our last day and we are preparing to catch a flight back to the U.S. tonight. Our time here in Amman Jordan has been very interesting, exciting and rewarding! It is amazing what all can happen in such a short period of time.   We have participated in several distributions of food and household goods for several hundred refugees over the past week.  In each one we had the opportunity to share our testimonies and a message of God's love and grace which was received very warmly. Our team of 6 divided up into two groups and probably went into at least 15 homes of refugees from Syria and Iraq. On many occasions we all went together. We listened to story after story of how family members were killed as they fled for their lives from ISIS in 2014. At the same time, we heard amazing testimonies about how the Lord brought them to salvation and miraculously answered their prayers and has provided for their needs. There were many tears as we heard them recount their suffering and even their present situations where unless a miracle happens, they have a very bleak future. In one of our last visits a dear older lady shared how her son and brother was killed one night by ISIS in Iraq. She went into detail about what she went through in her pain and loss but the whole time she had the most amazing smile, countenance and glow on her face! She shared how finally a pastor's wife prayed over her and she was able to forgive the men who killed her son and brother and begin to pray for them. At that time a peace came over her that lifted her out of her despair and set her free with a peace that was indescribable.   We also spent three mornings visiting three different ministry centers where most of their staff took the time to share with us what they are doing to bring hope and hands on help for refugees and many who have suffered physical, emotional and mental trauma beyond our ability to describe. As we listened all we could do is weep and put our faces in our hands and pray. We plan on partnering with at least two of these ministries as they desperately need both financial, prayer and volunteer support! They have websites that we will share later.   Needless to say, because of Arab culture here in the Middle East, at every visit we were served tea, coffee, sweets and on many occasions full Iraqi, Syrian or Jordanian meals! I have gained several pounds but really enjoyed every moment of our time with these precious people. We have anointed many with oil and prayed over them for special healing. Again, Psalm 138 is an awesome reminder of how our God is still at work in His harvest fields. And we had the firsthand experience of seeing and hearing of the great movement of the Holy Spirit in opening the eyes and hearts and minds of multitudes of precious souls in this region.  Truly He is magnifying both His Word and His Name as He manifest both His lovingkindness and His truth to so many here and around the world today! God bless!

Tuesday March 05 “I Will Praise You…”   Psalm 138:1-8  A Psalm of David 1 I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. 2 I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. 3 In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, When they hear the words of Your mouth. 5 Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD. 6 Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. 8 The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.   Our team is having a wonderful time ministering to the refugees here in Amman Jordan. Yesterday we divided into two teams and visited their homes where we had the opportunity to listen to their stories and connect with them. Of course, we drank a lot of tea and coffee in each home, ate a lot of snacks and in one home we were served a full Iraqi delicious meal.   Most of them have been here at least 6 years waiting for a visa to go to another country. They are not able to work here and are totally dependent upon outside resources to survive. In our first home visit, the parents had three teenage daughters and the reason they left Iraqi was because the girls were not safe there. We heard that story many times. In this particular apartment there was only one bedroom, and the living conditions were very poor. I noticed in the very small bedroom that 5 thin mattresses were stacked up on each other with a pile of blankets nearby. I'm guessing that they simply spread out the mattresses out and cover up. The apartment was very cold. But the parents were still very joyful and thankful that they were alive and professed that they were followers of Jesus!   In the home where we were fed the awesome meal, we heard the story of how they had to flee from Isis. They left behind a beautiful home and a very successful business they had built up over 40 years. They grabbed their documents, jumped into one of their cars in the middle of the night with their three children and fled for their lives. They lost everything but their lives. This couple has been here as refugees for 8 years and are still waiting for a visa to another country. Yet they never quit smiling and being great host as they testified to God's love and grace during this time. Our hearts were truly touched!   In our last home visit very late in the evening we experienced another large Iraqi family that also has been here for over 6 years having fled from Bagdad because it was unsafe for their daughters and ladies in the family. Through the ministry here they had also become believers and were rejoicing in the Lord. The dad shared how he now has read through the Bible 6 times since he has plenty of time! They openly witness to anyone who visits with them, and they shared the story with us of how the LORD answered their prayer with a miracle of healing a grandson who was declared to be blind and would never see.  The wife kept saying that all she prayed for was that the LORD would show them His glory! We thought we had gone by to bless and encourage them, but we were the ones who were blessed.   Thank you so much for your prayers! I'm afraid we take a lot for granted in America and in our comfortable lives there!   I will be starting to look at Psalm 138 in our Pastor's Chat video today! I trust you will get a chance to view it and you will join David in his praise to the LORD for answered prayer!   God bless!

1 By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. 2 We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. 3 For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" 4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song In a foreign land? 5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill! 6 If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth-- If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. 7 Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!" 8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! 9 Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock! I am so thankful and grateful for your prayers for our current trip to Amman Jordan. We had a safe and long flight here with our wonderful team. We arrived last night around 5:30 pm and went directly to the GPPD Relief Center about 35 minutes away where we will be staying for the entire time here. We met with the Pastor of the Grace Church and went to our rooms for some rest. This morning we had breakfast with the team in Jon's apartment and Kristi Robers gave us a wonderful and very helpful devotion from Joshua 5 called “Lectio Divina”. After that we had the opportunity to go across the street to the Relief Center and minister to over 25 Syrian women refugees in the first group. Kristi share her heart in a very moving way as she shared God's love and hope with them.  Jonathan also shared a wonderful message with them. Afterwards, they all received a large bag of food items and another bag of cleaning supplies. We immediately received another group of over 25 Syrian women refugees. Anita Geiger share her testimony with them and assure this group also of God's love for them during this difficult time of their lives. I was also about to share a few minutes with them about living a life that has meaning and value despite the conditions we might be going through! After I finished, they asked Jonathan how old I was. He asked them how old they thought I was and many of them replied that I was probably around 95 years old! Wow!!!! We all had a good laugh about that! We really felt like we connected to them and heard that they made many positive comments to our translator as they were leaving. They also receive the same relief items as the first group.   We met with the pastor of Grace Church and his wife and children for lunch together. They shared their journey of faith that brought them to Amman and how the Lord always marvelously has provided for them. It was very moving and inspiring! I wish everyone could have heard it that is reading this blog. Today, we also want to begin our chats on Psalm 137. Psalm 137 was probably written by a Levite after he had returned home from Babylon with the remnant in 536 B. C. Twenty years later, Babylon would be destroyed. It appears that the psalmist was with a group of former exiles (note the "we" and "us" in vv. 1-4), recalling some of their experiences from their time of captivity in Babylon.  Many of those memories opened old wounds and were very painful!  But from this encounter with the past, the psalmist learned some lessons about the human memory, himself, and the Lord.  You will notice that the words, "Remember" and "forget" are used a total of five times in these nine verses. This chapter will help us to learn to deal with our bitter memories God's way so we might find healing for the bitterness they might have brought into our lives. We are ministering to precious refugees here in Amman this week who have tragic memories and a very painful past for the most part. Please keep us in your prayers as we share God's love and His Son with them! God bless!

What made you create this study series? 2. How long did it take you? What have you learned from writing this series? What is different? 3. You talk about how the way you teach can impact someone's thinking, perspectives, etc. How do you see that playing out? 4. Do you want to give a quick overview of your series? 5. This is by far the first complete study about the Holy Spirit in a series. What were your thoughts when you included this in your series? Can you share more about the Spiritual Formation group that you mentioned earlier. 6. I am sure you have used the series to study the Bible with someone. How has that been?

Who built the ancient city of Petra it? What was it used for? And how is it that an entire city became “lost”? Some of the answers remain elusive even to the most avid historians. Petra is an ancient city carved into red desert cliffs. The city is located in Jordan, 150 miles from Amman (Jordan's capital). It has been deserted for hundreds of years, but thousands of years ago, the city was thriving. Petra was a powerful trading center with a top-notch location for silk and spice trade routes. It was also the capital of the Nabataean Empire. The Nabateans were experts in water technology. They constructed tunnels, dams, cisterns, and water chambers, and Petra was a type of oasis to weary travelers in search of water. This brilliant water engineering allowed the Petrans to stay in the city even in periods of drought and to survive flash floods. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning I am on a non-stop flight to Amman Jordan! I prerecorded our chat for today so that I would be able to post them before I leave. Thank you for your prayers as we lead this wonderful group of people on a spiritual journey these next 14 days to get more acquainted with the Lord and His Word! Psalm 38 is indeed a very interesting Psalm as David is writing out of an anguished heart that is hurting as he is experiencing the chastening hand of the LORD for his sin. It might be good to mention that even though we are suffering from the consequences of our sins, if we are children of God, He is not chastening us because He is mad and angry at us, but because He loves us. Read these verses in Hebrews 12:5-13 very carefully and thankfully! “And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives." If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.” We not only hurt ourselves when we sin, but we bring so much pain and suffering to those around us. We can also lose our witness and there is the loss of those who could have been won to Jesus that might now turn away because they have no respect for us. But in some ways if we humble ourselves, as David did and be willing to share the shame and pain we have experience because of our sin, the Lord might use that to bring many to Christ. God sure took the evil and consequences of David's sin and turned it into good that we might be strengthened and encouraged by it. So now in verse 9, after David has focused on himself and the experience of sin's suffering, he briefly turns to the Lord and acknowledges that really all he desires is before Him! He knows that the Lord sees and hears his “sighing” and knows the loneliness of his heart. “The light of David's eyes has gone out”. The brightness of his countenance is gone and you can see it in his downcast eyes. The loneliness of sin begins to set in for David! No one wants to be around him in this condition. It is if he has leprosy. Even his close family and friends don't want to be with him. His other relatives that were always there for him before, are not supportive and stay away from him (v.11). Then David's enemies start coming out of the woodwork conniving deceitfully against him (v. 12). He is so dumbfounded that he can't even speak to defend himself (vv. 13-14). Yes, my friend, sin can bring loneliness into your life. It is not a place you want to be. But remember, David lives to write about it as a warning to us, and an encouragement to trust the Lord for his mercy and forgiveness. God bless!

This week's Local Selection Mix comes from Belfast born, Berlin based talent AOIFE. Fresh off the back of a debut in Tresor, AOIFE has supplied a 90 minute thriller full of twists and turns from groove, loops, bloops, EBM and slamming techno. DJ, event promoter, international publicist and label manager- AOIFE has confirmed her own place in Europe's dance music community. The Belfast born, Berlin based talent has firmly integrated herself amongst a variety of parties, starting a residency with Germany's Ravescape and having regular appearances with UK party starters Ape-X. AOIFE has formed an unapologetic approach to DJ sets, focusing on the sounds of untamed techno, driving electro, ebm and dance floor euphoria. The self-taught DJ has already appeared on notable platforms like Rinse FM, RTE Pulse & Kanal 6. After being tipped as ‘One To Watch‘ on Behind The Decks in 2020, AOIFE made a move to Berlin and has continued on an accelerated progression, rubbing shoulders on line ups with the likes of VTSS, Manni Dee, Keepsakes & O.B.I. at clubs including Tresor, Khidi Club, Suicide Club, Digital & World Headquarters, Rote Sonne in cities such as Newcastle – England, Amman – Jordan and Berlin & Munich – Germany & Tbilisi – Georgia. With a profound multifaceted ability, AOIFE strives to develop and mature her sound amongst the Berlin music scene, as she joins Percussive Agency. The future burns bright bright for this rising talent. This is a mix of different tracks, moments, moods and sounds that I've been playing over the last while. I'm preferring longer sets at the moment and getting the chance to build on energies so that's why this one has an extra half hour to a 60'minute podcasts as normal. Expect a bit of everything from groove, loops, bloops, EBM and slamming techno.

When you learn how Amman Jordan first came across my podcast, you might be shocked to hear that he initially thought I wasn't worth listening to (it had to do with what he thought I was saying about the movie "Black Panther.")  To his credit, he hung in there and came to the opposite conclusion. Today, he loves my pod, and I'm so grateful to have a compadre like him in the effort to build a deep and lasting unity between African Americans and AAPIs, and with everyone else. Among things, this difficult work requires honest conversations between those who love and trust each other. That was definitely our aim here.

Michael, Greg and co-host Janice Norton also answer some soil questions sent in during the live chat.

Based in Jordan she messaged me on Instagram and although it took me a few days (or more than a few days!) to see the message in my “junk folder” I am so glad she persistently sent a follow up that got me to finally see her message.

Julia shares with us how she took control of her thoughts and chose how she would approach her surgery and follow on therapy for breast cancer. From being a runner in Jordan where it is less common for women to run out on the streets, to running during chemotherapy, to running the day after surgery and then a half marathon within weeks of surgery! OMG such an inspiration! This is Julia's story as she takes control of cancer.

09.01.2022 Sunday, Amman Jordan. My dad is alive. Heart still beating. Better so but everything hurts. The chest opens, and the movement is limited. His mind is strong and he is will though.

And I will hopefully reflect on all if it in a peaceful moment later on when I am back. Hopefully I fly back on Tuesday. I flew here spontaneously and I'm glad I did. All the best, Khalid

During this episode Sophie Ghaziri talks to Lina Khalife, the founder of She Fighter in Jordan. Domestic abuse and violence has escalated across the world due to the pandemic but in the Middle East it is considered a crisis. Lina teaches women how to defend themselves, builds their self confidence and teaches them techniques to combat fear. In 2020, a brief report entitled “Women in Jordan: Continuing Violence and Absent Protection”, Euro-Med Monitor highlighted the outburst of violence against Jordanian women, where the country recorded 21 cases of female murders – a three-time increase compared to 2018 which saw seven murders only. In the same year, 6,965 women fell victims of violence, 810 were able to get aid from the five battered women shelters belonging to the Ministry of Social Development while the rest, especially who live in the remote areas, were marginalized and consequently left to face more violence. Lina's work is crucial, hear what she has to say!

Salem is a Sustainability Engineer who has worked on projects in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. Originally from Amman Jordan, he moved to England to study civil and environmental engineering, and has spent the last 6 years working on exciting international projects. Salem is a good friend of mine, we used to work together and he was probably one of the first people I met when I first moved to London. With this episode, I really wanted to bring out important insights and lessons he has learned about sustainability in general and more specifically about sustainability in the Middle Eastern context. Being from the Jordan himself and having worked on projects in several Middle Eastern countries, he has some important messages about this often misunderstood region.We talk about why the Middle East is not just one place, it is very diverse and complex. We talk about how the region is adapting to the impact of climate change and how modern innovative solutions are not always the way forward.We also discuss the concept of resilience and how cities around the world can bounce forward to a new equilibrium, a new normal, after Covid-19.Contact Salem:salemqunsol@live.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/salem-qunsol-ceng-mcibse-252235a8/Follow the podcast:https://twitter.com/GreenUrbanPodhttps://www.instagram.com/greenurbanistpodContact the podcast:greenurbanistpod@gmail.com

Hallo Freunde Beach Podcast geht mit einem neuen Guest Mix an den Start...

This time Aya Nasif aka AYN from Amman, Jordan was a guest at the turntables. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LINKS: https://soundcloud.com/aynsound https://www.facebook.com/AYN.Sound/?_rdc=1&_rdr https://www.instagram.com/ayn.sound/ https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/ayn -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: AYN (aka Aya Nasif) is a live electronic producer/DJ, from Amman-Jordan, actively searching for musical inspirations to merge sounds into mixes that keep you on the edge. Influenced by her Arabic roots, and guided by her love for western and exotic melodies, she's currently searching for seamless mixing techniques to blend her worlds into one. There's no limit to how far she will go to create music that unites music lovers despite their differences, and will always be an advocate of the universality of sound and its endless dimensions. Specializing in techno and tech house, AYN brings groove and energy to the dance floor. She is continuously developing her live set, while working in parallel on a series of original tracks. Her first release Lover's Hymn (AYN remix) was released back in May (2018). In November (2019) AYN released 3 singles from her new EP "I Contact". "I Contact", stems from a series of musical experiences lived through space and time. A journey through rhythmic progressions and sonic escapes, mixed with voices you hear along the way, seamlessly vacuumed into a world of broken strains. Eye Contact and silent interactions feel(s) like unified emotions in a journey to where it all went. AYN recently got featured in Scene Noise's "18 female Middle Eastern DJs that should be on your radar" alongside the region's finest. She also joined Ballantine's True Music Jordan program, and represented them at Boiler Room Poland in April (2019). AYN has played at many festivals - she's a regular performer at Chill O'pposite Music Festival in Egypt and will be performing at Sandbox Festival 2020... and many more. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- listen all Beach Podcast Mixes on Deezer and iTunes too https://www.deezer.com/de/show/1013312 https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/kurt-kjergaard-beach-podcast/id1502645046?fbclid=IwAR2a_Bc9-RUPdkImFsVNNG-pJqVM0DMrJIPfqYziGjv5E7vXOuDgX7Ga8z4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- play ☑ like ☑ share with your friends ☑ | THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT THE ARTIST by KURT KJERGAARD

In the past two months, the Turkish Authorities have escalated their crackdown on Syrian refugees living in Istanbul arresting thousands and giving them an ultimatum until August 20th to move to the cities they obtained residency in when they first arrived into Turkey OR face deportations back to Syria. The deadline is now extended to the end of October. But the crackdown left thousands of Syrian refugees fearful for their future and the possibility of uprooting their families for the second time. Turkey hosts the largest number of Syrian refugees, an estimated 3.6 million people. Human Rights organizations are also reporting that Turkey is deporting Syrians back into Syria, a charge the Turkish government denies… International law prohibits the forcible return of anyone to a place where they would face a real risk of persecution,or a threat to life. To understand the background of these crackdowns and the status of Syrians in Turkey we speak with Professor Ayşen Üstübici. She is an Assistant Professor at Koç University Department of Sociology and the Department of Political Science. She is the author of The Governance of International Migration: Irregular Migrants' Access to Right to Stay in Turkey and Morocco (University of Amsterdam Press). Next, we air the first episode of ‘Mal Amal’ a podcast about migrant labor in Jordan. The podcast is produced by the Arab podcast platform Sowt (or voice), with support from the Heinrich Böll Foundation. But first, to learn more about the idea behind the podcast ‘Mal Amal’ and which focuses on the struggles of migrant workers in Jordan, I Reached Sowt’s Executive Director Ramsey Tesdell in Amman Jordan.

Today I’m bringing you a mystical gift with Honeybee Henderson as my guest on Extraordinary Women Radio. Honeybee joins us from Amman Jordan where she has been called to teach yoga in the Middle East. Honeybee is Spiritual Psychologist, a Ceremonialist, a Mystic and has traveled the corners of the world in search of the greatest tools to align to the true Self. I personally was excited to hear more about Honeybee's pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. As she shares with us, "the Camino is only one piece of the puzzle. Over the last 4 years, I have been plucked from my home, and sent around the globe on a mission to empower women.  I never know exactly where I am going next, or what waits for me around the corner.  This is how I have been thrust into flow." And so we jam about being in flow. We jam about the value of being a woman and of learning how to relax the mind, the control mechanism, the nervous system… to allow more energy to move through us! If we, as women, start learning how to listen inwardly to that small inner voice, called intuition, each woman will be able to live a life on purpose.  This is Honeybee's dream. Honeybee blends over 20 years of ancient practices with modern-day science to support people in attaining and maintaining alignment, a state of consciousness that allows connection to Flow. She is an active seeker and student of shamanic traditions, yoga, tantra, NLP and Spiritual Psychology. She draws on the wisdom collected from saints and sages, Mother Nature and mystics, science and technology to support full activation of the human potential. "If you're a 'yes', go on full YES and you don't need to worry about it. If you're a 'no', it's simply a no. It doesn't mean it's bad or it's wrong for you. It just means simply it may not be the right time." - Honeybee Henderson To learn more about Honeybee Henderson, you can follow her on her website: www.honeybeehenderson.com or follow her on Facebook or Instagram.

This particular hostel had been so highly recommended by a multitude of people online, with all the comments including how wonderful the proprietor ‘Andrew’ was. The hostel itself was nothing special, quite rundown and minimalistic, but we did have the opportunity to meet this infamous Andrew, completely validating all the positive comments. We spent our first day in Amman recovering followed by dinner at one of the best restaurants in Amman, the Hashem restaurant. The Hashem restaurant purely served the mixed selection of falafel, pita, salad and two dips, yet it was easy to understand how it had earned such an outstanding reputation. We now have a new appreciation for falafel and hummus, and the variety of ways to consume said food, but more about that later. We spent a day exploring the Roman ruins and visiting the ruins of a citadel, which rest above the remainder of the city. It was intriguing to see the remnants of ancient civilisations that dated back over three thousand years, whilst tracing the progressive evolution of these civilisations and observing the variations in culture and religious belief over time. It was here that we started to realise how historically and culturally significant this entire area really was. We decided we wanted to visit the famed Dead Sea, so Andrew organised ‘George’ to take us on a day trip to the area. George initially took us to Madaba to see the oldest known map of the promise land, which was an intricate partially preserved mosaic on the floor of what is now a Catholic church. We then visited Mount Nebo, where it is presumed 120-year-old Moses climbed so God could show him the Promised Land before dying there. The view from the top was truly impressive allowing us to appreciate all the elaborate rock formations and the Dead Sea, which was our next destination. We paid an exuberant price to enter a complex with pools and direct access to the beach of the fabled sea. Entering the water was a surreal experience, as you expect your body to sink as in all other water, but we defiantly stayed buoyant with no effort on our behalves. As we left the water, we could feel the salt now layered on our bodies, which slowly precipitated into large salt deposits. We observed a direct contrast between effortlessly swimming in The Dead Sea and the exhausting swim in the pure water of Crater Lake in Banlung, Cambodia. Returning to Amman, after helping George out by utilising our duty free privileges, we decided it was time to head to Jordan’s main attraction, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Petra. We caught the public bus to the town Wadi Mousa, which acts as the tourist base for people visiting Petra. Andrew had suggest a hotel for us to stay in while in the area, “The Valentine Inn”… Luckily, they had a twin room available even though there were still hearts on our key...Just like Indiana Jones before us, we entered Petra through the ominous entrance, a relatively small division between two formidable walls of rock. We were humbled by this intimidating stone corridor before the channel opened onto the renowned treasury, currently the most exquisitely intricate building in Petra. It was unbelievable and almost implausible to conceive that people had built such an amazing structure into a rock face. As we continued into Petra there were numerous tombs and other buildings erratically scattered within the surrounding landscape, linked by hidden staircases leading to what were once possibly prominent areas. As we’d decided to spend two days at Petra, we used our first day to explore the major attractions such as taking the long trek to see the astonishing monastery (seen in Transformers 2), which rivals the treasury in its grandeur, and used our second day to go off the beaten track and find a great location to watch sunset. Whilst at Petra, we were completely at the mercy of the sun, so we tried to track shade at any opportunity. Even when we left the main trail, we were still coming across the remnants of life in the form of carvings, stairs and buildings. We were, and continue to be, completely in awe of Petra and the amazing artistry the founding civilization had masterfully utilised to create this former epicentre of trade. After immensely enjoying Petra, we headed to Wadi Rum, an arid nature reserve approximately two hours south of Wadi Mousa, where we’d organised a tour for one day and a night. Jumping into the back of a ute, we were chauffeured around the reserve to various impressive naturally occurring springs and rock formations before we were taken to a Bedouin camp to enjoy the remarkable desert sunset. Having decided to avoid Egypt due to the enduring civil unrest, we had intended staying in Jordan for two weeks. However, whilst in Amman, the seed had been planted to visit Israel and Palestine. Catching a taxi from Wadi Rum to a town on the Jordanian-Israeli border, Aqaba, where we nervously prepared to cross this precarious border.Israel & Palestine – Jerusalem – October 31st – November 3rdWe anxiously crossed the border by foot, passing the armed guards on either side. As we crossed into the Israeli immigration area we were welcomed by what seemed like endless photos of Bill Clinton… We were heavily questioned by immigration officials about where we’d been, how and for how long we’d known each other and our intentions in Israel. After being allowed to enter the country, we walked to the city, allowing us to observe the stark contrast between the small town of Aqaba in Jordan and the heavily westernized city of Eilat, where we saw a dramatic increase in infrastructure and overall wealth. From Eilat we organised a bus to Jerusalem, but not before we went to an upmarket shopping centre where Casey purchased an iPad to replace his water damaged iPhone.Arriving into Jerusalem was a surreal experience, a city that has consistently been at the focal point of history and contributed to the evolution of countless religions. The city was such a blend of culture, with an obvious division demonstrated through something as simple as the architecture in differing districts. We had organised to stay at a hostel within the walls of the historical old city, near the Jaffa Gate. Joining a “Holy city” tour we were taken to the main attractions that have importance to the differing faiths. Initially, we were taken to the Temple Mount, which is now also the location of the building with the iconic golden dome and adjacent to the Western or ‘Wailing’ Wall. The Temple Mount is only open to tourists for a single hour everyday, and when we arrived people had already been waiting for hours. Luckily, our tour group was able to join the line with another tour group, which saw us clearing security within the allocated time. We had been in the site no more then ten minutes before they started aggressively ushering us out. We had been lucky to visit this site, but we did feel a twang of guilt for pushing our way into the line and robbing people of this rare opportunity. We later learnt (after continuously interrogating our guide) that the Temple Mount was part of the area controlled by Palestine and an ‘incident’ between Israel and Syria at the precise time we had entered the area partially explained our rapid expulsion. The presence of police and army members at various points through out the city really does contribute to the already prominent tension we were feeling.After visiting the Temple Mount, we headed to a small portion of the Western Wall where we were able to write a ‘wish’ and place it into the cracks of the wall, replicating a Jewish practice. The remained of the tour predominately followed the assumed stages of Jesus’ crucifixion. As we walked the small alleyways, we were shown locations that coincided with events that were referenced within the Christian New Testament before we reached the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This church, which is owned by all the major denominations of Christianity, housed the proposed location of Jesus’ crucifixion (Golgotha), the place of his anointment and the place of his burial. The people that were there on spiritual pilgrimages greatly contributed to the ambience and authenticity of the site. We then headed to the proposed location of the Last Supper, which, like the majority of sites in Jerusalem, had been in the possession of, and therefore influence by, one of the three main religious groups at one time or another. The tour was quite overwhelming in a way as were taken to sites that are considered sacred to differing people for a multitude of differing reasons. Walking through the four quarters (Armenian, Christian, Jewish and Muslim) of the old town was really an experience in itself, but it was fantastic to see such diversity within the small area. The following day, Casey and I headed up to the Mount of Olives; where in Judaism it is said the prophet will descend and walk to the Temple Mount. Many cemeteries rest on this mountain for this very reason with their feet facing the summit as we were told, “people don’t want to miss the show”. Other prominent sites that rest on this mountain are the Garden of Olives, where it is assumed Judas betrayed Jesus, and the tomb of Mary, mother of Jesus. We also got an amazing view from the top over the city.Jerusalem, on a whole, was quite an expensive city, which made eating extravagantly difficult. We found a tiny restaurant next to our hostel that made the most amazing falafel sandwiches, so amazing (and cheap) that it became our staple food whilst in Jerusalem, so much so that we were consuming two on each occasion… We were originally so apprehensive when it came to visiting Israel and Jerusalem, yet we were shocked by how Westernized the city was in parts and how isolated, yet apparent, the ongoing battle for territory really is between the conflicting sides. As we headed to the bus station to leave Jerusalem and Israel, we were shocked by the presence of a metal detector at the bus interchange, yet the large number of 18 to 20 year olds on their military service arbitrarily walking around with assault rifles seemed to make this somewhat redundant. We headed north to a border crossing we were assured would not be an issue to cross and returned back to Amman where we were catching our flight to Egypt and then Argentina the following day.  We also had the pleasure of seeing Andrew again, who graciously sorted us out with a private room at a discounted price because “we were friends”.Egypt – Cairo – November 4th – November 6thAs we were attempting to avoid entering Egypt, we had booked a flight to Cairo on the day of our flight from Cairo to Argentina. To avoid paying for an Egyptian visa to enter the country just to pick up our bags and check-in once more when we arrived in Cairo, we arrange to have our bags directly placed on our next flight. All smooth and seemingly easy... As we arrived into Cairo, we were ferried off to a room or ‘holding area’ used for transit passengers, having our passports confiscated. Feeling like were captives in this highly secured room, we waited for three hours to be presented with our connecting boarding passes, yet, we were ignored. Eventually, a man approached Casey and started asking about our visa receipt number. As Casey had travelled to Argentina before, where he had paid a reciprocity fee at the border, we were convinced that a prearranged payment was unnecessary. This situation continued, as we thought this seemingly less-then-official airport employee was taking us for a ride, before the man escorted Casey to the Qatar Airways desk. Casey then returned to the transit lounge, shockingly accompanied by our luggage. Unbeknown to us both, as of July, this fee must be paid online before departure to Argentina. They had refused to let us board the plane because we had not paid the fee, a fee that can be paid within minutes. I was also erroneously denied using my EU passport that doesn’t require a fee payment; we had been officially rejected from boarding the flight. We were escorted back to the original terminal, Qatar Airways washing their hands of us, after what was quite appalling handling of the situation on their behalves. Unfortunately, the blame rests solely with us, yet I do not hesitate to partially condemn the airline for their disorganization and lack of knowledge and assistance in what should have been a recoverable situation. Being told we could pay to return to Jordan or enter Egypt, we, still in shock from our shattered reality, reluctantly decided to stay in Cairo. Our presumption of being in South America within 48-hours had been crushed in the space of minutes. We had arrived into Cairo on the day of the Morsi trial, so tanks and other armoured vehicles littered the streets. We had found a hotel, which, like many of the tourist-centric businesses, was feeling the effect of numerous governments condemning travel to this politically unstable country. We had to determine our next move.As we were in Egypt, we figured that we should at least try to see the sights we could in the short time we were here. Fortunately, Casey had made a friend who lived in Cairo whilst on his course in Germany, Naggar. Naggar came to meet us, acting as our more then capable guide through Cairo, organising a cruise on the infamous Nile River, taking us to an authentic Egyptian restaurant before taking us to a hotel where we could look over the city by night. Telling Naggar we had decided to visit the Pyramids of Giza seemed to fill him with slight concern and he decided to escort us there the following day, which we were more then grateful, yet perplexed by his concern. We fought through the incomprehensible Cairo traffic before we started approaching the ancient pyramids. The final approach to the pyramids was one of the most stressful situations we’d been involved in thus far. As we drove, people started to approach the car trying to secure employment as a tour guide. We initially experienced a man being denied by Naggar, yet he desperately continued to run next to the car as traffic progressed before he collided with a turning bus. We then came to an area where people were trying to jump in front of the car to the shock of Naggar, who was evasively able to avoid them. We arrived at the pyramids where Naggar secured our tickets and a guide, who was employed purely to prevent unwanted advances. The pyramids and sphinx were formidably standing before us, and it was more then obvious why the pyramids were considered an ancient wonder and also an honoury member of the current Seven Wonders of the World. Yet, it was hard to fully enjoy the experience, as we were the only tourists present, we were continuously harassed by people wanting money. Having Naggar with us to both drive and organise everything for us was amazing. We now know why he hesitated when we told him about our plans to visit the pyramids solo, and I think even he was shocked by the conditions we encountered. We are incredibly grateful he was willing to accompany us during our time in Egypt. The entire experience of visiting the pyramids really did reiterate the pressure the entire country has been feeling during this incredibly turbulent time, unfortunately it was evident that the country was struggling.The main question we had to answer was, ‘What do we do next?’. Do we pay for a new ticket to Argentina? Do we choose a new destination? And if so, where? This debate continued as we frantically searched Skyscanner for the cheapest destination that would partially coincide with our already booked flights. I’m sad to say to all our diehard fans out that there that Casey and I chose differing destinations. The Earthbound Astronauts are splitting once more! I had found an incredibly cheap ticket to Toronto, Canada, so thought I would go on a journey to find a polar bear. Casey, thought completely outside of the box, and decided to head to Tanzania where he’d organised a work away! Planning to meet up in the US in about a month, we said our goodbyes and farewelled each other once more. We truly are unpredictably earthbound after all. Keep posted.

In this podcast Ricardo presents the highlights of the conference realized last week in Amman, Jordan. The event discussed the association between leadership, governance, execution and strategy. Ricardo leaded the discussions about execution and projects.
