Thursday, April 1st

Early in the morning with the moon still up over the sea, we packed our luggage into the car at the front door of our home. So much had happened these past three weeks.

Dan and Tom had to almost drag me out of the house. But really my heart was full of JOY and PEACE knowing that this trip was planned by our loving Heavenly Father.

Kedrick and James drove us to the airport.


We flew to Accra, Ghana and were met at the airport by Lee Sonius and Joshua Milton Blayi the former General Butt Naked, who was one of the most feared men in Liberia during the war. We had lunch at Lee and Michelle's home where he told us his story of God's goodness and saving him. He is working in a lot of Liberian refugee camps outside of Liberia.

We also met Fred who is a Liberian living near a Liberian refugee camp in Ghana. He uses music to minister to people. He is asking the Lord for a guitar to use in his ministry.





We arrived in Detroit on April 2nd with full hearts and many stories to tell of God's goodness. Will God allow another trip? That is the question on my mind. There are so many opportunities there. May I thank all of you who have followed my journey home - in prayer. You have been a very vital part of this trip. We have been partners of God's grace in Liberia. Thank you.

Remember this coconut tree that I found on my arrival at ELWA? To all of us, it looks like a tree that was not meant to live, cut down at the roots. BUT God had another plan, one part of the root system still nourished the growth of the tree. It begins to reach to the sky toward it's creator, with signs of LIFE! This is a picture of what God is doing in Liberia. It was a people and country that has been cut down, but not dead! With God our Creator's life, it can come to ETERNAL LIFE in Jesus. I believe this with all my heart!
