Sunday

Sunday:
We got a vehicle this morning that has worked out very well; we all fit and it is in good working condition. It was perfect for taking us to Mr. Dickson's village for church.
We had an unbelievable experience with the people of this small village that was a sanctuary for several months for Tony and Beth during the war.
After church we stopped back at the house for a quick lunch and were off to visit Tony's good friend Matthew (who picked us up from the airport).
He has incredible vision to help orphaned children as well as provide a medical facility for his area. We saw a small portion of his 80+ acre facility that included a nearly complete clinic, dorms for boys and girls, a cafeteria, and a school. We were warmly (and politely) greeted by the 112 orphaned children who he and his team has already taken in, even though the facility is not yet complete. When completed we were told that they would have capacity for nearly 2000 children. His vision also includes providing continued education for the children past high school.
We then were off to downtown Monrovia to visit the library site. Our prayer is that our remaining tools show up tomorrow morning and we can get right to work. Please pray with us!
We will upload pictures next.

  1. Mark,
    So glad that you all made it safely and that you will be able to get started with the building today. We hope all the tools made it there too. Looking forward to hearing what the Lord has you to do as you work there. May the Lord bless you all,SueD
