Through the support of my friends and complete strangers all
of the support I needed to meet my financial goal has been met. But what needs to be done in Liberia cannot be done with money alone. Please pray for me.
Preparations are going well. I now have experience with the water systems. I made some mud water and filtered it through to impress my kids. It’s amazing how just a little device can filter water and make it safe to drink. The great thing about these devices is that they really have no expiration date. The systems we provide on this trip will provide safe water for years to come and greatly improve the standard of living for those who we distribute them to.

I have all five of my lessons prepared for the conference. I
will be teaching five different one and a half hour sessions two times each. I
have some exciting interactive activities that I am excited to do with the
Liberian people to help make them memorable.
If
you would pray for John, David, Shane, and me each day, I would be extremely
grateful. I have attached a schedule of the planned big activities. We have
been prepped to be flexible because we don’t know what will really happen. On a
previous trip, their car broke down in a little village and that is where they
ministered for a full day. I pray that we will be flexible enough to be where
God wants us to be so that we can do the work that He wants us to. I hope to
not pick up any diseases (a real threat), to be safe (the UN has peacekeepers
there and I will have guns pointed at me at times), but, most importantly, I
hope to plant seeds for God’s kingdom that will last. The work that we want to accomplish
cannot be done effectively without God being involved and changing people’s
hearts.
