Hey Everyone,
Our missions team is safe and sound home in Los Angeles. Rudy and Brian are at the airport all night waiting to fly home to Oakland, CA (Santa Rosa).
We got a call from Indonesia and were told several papers have a story about our team on their front page, talking about how we came in disguise as humanitarian workers but our real goal was to convert people from Islam.
It also says there is a 48 minute video of us...

Dear Streetwise Family,
I was hanging out recently with a young pastor who had bravely served a tour of duty in Iraq. I am always amazed and humbled by these courageous young men and women who lay their lives down in service to our country. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.
As we were chatting, I discovered a term I had never heard before... "Beyond The Wire." Since then, I have also heard it refered to as "outside the wire."
See, inside...
