Comino

Saturday Tyler was busy but Geraldine and I decided to go ahead and go to Comino, the third inhabited island of the Maltese archipelago (even though only about four people live there). There is one hotel and is a popular day trip for tourists to swim in its famous 'blue lagoon.'
It only took about an hour and a half to walk around the entire island (and find two geocaches). The terrain is quite rough, but there is a beautiful view of both Gozo and Malta.
The little islands are part of Comino, surrounding the Blue Lagoon, and the island in the background is Gozo.
St. Mary's tower, used to send warning of invaders to Valletta by the Knights of St. John, and also used as the Chateau D'If in the movie The Count of Monte Cristo.
Today is The Global Day of Prayer. Last year's Global Day of Prayer was the very first--this is a movements started by believers in Cape Town--the movement then spread to the rest of the continent of Africa and in 2005 they challenged the world to take a day and pray for revival to spread across the world. This year we heard about it a little too late to get together more than our church, but next year the believers in Malta hope to gather together and humble themselves and pray. Even though it was just a little group at Palm Springs the Lord still met us in an amazing way and we know that things were shifted in the heavens from our prayers and others' around the world.
Wednesday night I leave for Egypt and I am not taking my laptop, so if you don't hear from me for a while, don't worry.
Pray for good use of my time for the remainder of my time here, and for the presence of God to come here in a real way. Posted by Picasa
