What is he doing down there?

Well, apart from having seen where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, the site where Moses look in to the promised land and where Elijah was taken up to heaven, he is actually doing work. Duncan is the leader of a team of six young people (18-28 yrs). This weekend (and next) they will be a youth camps for young Christians from around the area. The purpose of the camps is to encourage these young folks in their Christian faith and identity. The Christians groups in Jordan are very much minority groups and young people often find themselves alone in their congregations. (Even more so than in Denmark or England) So bringing them together is a way of assuring them that they are not the only young Christians. And the team from Highway being there also serves to show that "the world" hasn't forgotten them.
During the week days Duncan and his team will be in schools doing lectures about Christianity. They will be going into schools/universities with mixed groups of Muslims, Jews and Christians. These lectures, we have been assured, will e challenging. Simply because most people are very aware of religion, and are used to religion being visible. The more extreme you are, the more obvious it is from the out side. Previous teams have found these conversations very helpfull and challenging for their personal faith.

O, and then, off course, they end the tour with going out into the Jordanian dessert to visit Petra!
