On Sunday, "Pastor Luke" had the opportunity to share his testimony during church in the village. Pastor Dixon and his wife "Ma" Misu are seated in the background. During the war, as Tony and his family were fleeing Liberia, they spent several months receiving refuge in this village and became good friends with the Dixons.
Team and much of the congregation pictured in front of the church. Nearly all of the men were visiting a neighboring village because a man there died falling from a palm tree. The space also doubles as a school as there are no other education opportunities in the village. They have been slowly building a new church since 2003, but with little income, the progress is slow.
Tony speaking to the children at the orphanage. Even though the complex is unfinished, there are already 112 orphans living there. As the team members were introduced one by one to the assembled children, each one of us received a courteous applause. When Cal, who is also here to scout out possible water projects in this type of setting was introduced, the response was deafening. The children erupted in cheers and applause. They know, every hour of every day, the importance of water.
Daddy all the little children oh they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!
