Haven't been able to post all week and the reason why is because I’ve been in Egypt since Monday.  Yep, that’s right.  American priest visits land of Egypt.  I’ve had quite the experience and thanks be to God, all has gone well.

And the highlight of my trip by far was getting to meet with His Holiness Pope Tawadros II.

I was truly humbled and honored by His Holiness' love and care for both me and our church.  Below is a short 1 minute video clip that His Holiness recorded as a personal message to the entire STSA family.

May the Lord keep His Holiness Pope Tawadros for us and confirm him on his throne for many years to come.
