Saturday, we took some time in the morning to visit our dear friend (and Tony's brother-in-law) Kolegar at his home. He was a great help throughout our trip and most of the team had not met his kids. As it turned out, Tony's mother-in-law was also at Kolegar's home. Whether you know Kolegar's situation or not, this is a family who needs our prayers.
After leaving Kolegar's home, we met up with Judge Nuta and headed out to see the land where CenterPoint will have a permanent location in the future. The Judge was nice enough to bring along some coconuts for a refreshing drink and small "bush snack".
Even though we were in Liberia during the dry season, we still managed to find some water to drive through.
Factoid: Monrovia has the most annual rainfall of any world capital.
The beauty of the Liberian bush.
This is Loren with our driver, Morris. He is a Muslim man who did a great job for us. He had an easy-going personality and great sense of humor. Throughout the trip, we treated him as a brother and teammate, showing him Christ's love and respect. We pray that our example will have a lasting impact on him and that God's Holy Spirit will draw him to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
The photo below depicts one of the hard truths about surviving in Liberia. Every day, many families make a small wage by breaking boulders into rocks and rocks into stones and stones into gravel, one hammer swing at a time.
