As each day rushes by, I am amazed at what God is doing in my heart. The March 2010 trip to Liberia is a fulfillment of my desire for OVER 30 years. I am beginning to understand God's PERFECT TIMING in all this. I see how God has prepared me over the last few years, to understand a lot more about who HE is, before returning to Liberia. There have been areas in my life where I needed to find "treasures in the darkness" as Isaiah 45:1-8 talks about. I am truly grateful.
Please pray as our team will be working with Christine Tolbert Norman and "Restoration of Educational Advancement Programs (REAP), bringing hope and help to war-affected youth and young adults. Follow www.reapliberia.org for more information. We will also be working with ELWA Ministries, Follow www.sim.ca, go to 'Africa Region', then to 'Liberia' for more information. Visit these sites as well for more ELWA information. http://www.elwamausa.org ELWA Palava Hut http://www.elwamausa.org/blog
We will also be visiting churches, orphanages, schools. We will be meeting with government officials as well.
Please bring us to the throne of Grace:
1. Pray that the Lord will cultivate a spiritual hunger in the lives of those we meet. There are 3.5 M people, half are 15 and younger. The average age is 18. Most have only know war, guns, fear, terror, rape, and death.
2. Pray that my heart will not ignore God's calling in my life.
3. Pray for Dan Snyder who is leading our team, that he would know the wisdom of the Lord.
4. Pray for Liberian leaders who are planning our itinerary.
5. Pray that our visas come on time.
6. Pray for the prayer and financial support we need to get there and serve.
7. I am collecting used or new Christian CD music to take with me for ELWA. The music library was destroyed in the war.
Thank you for joining this journey - Returning Home!
