and towns in 2 countries, Liberia and Ivory Coast. A mission can last 1-7 days. We did 8 two day conferences. Our projector was used several times showing
the Jesus film and other Christian training films. We baptized 1 person. 10 completed our Bible marking training. Many had the Gospel presented to them and many
made confessions of faith asking our Lord for salvation and forgiveness. We printed approximately 5,000 pages of Bible
training material. We made 35 manuals.
mosquitos, large spiders, beetles, roaches and millipedes along with chickens
and doves. But in our French level 2 class
we also had less common visitors. We had
a large black scorpion in our classroom, a snake in one of our houses and the
cat in a great acrobatic move snatched a bat out of the air that was in my
room. OH, do I ever love this place!
We had 33 students and 8 children in our French level 2 class
and several that listened in. I have
been teaching in this school for years.
Always I will experience the Holy Spirit teaching through me. But this time it was abundant! Throughout each day I had to stop and take
notes of what the Holy Spirit was teaching through me. It was a level of anointing that I have never
experienced before. Always with the
refugees the Holy Spirit is powerfully present. These refugees have been stripped of
everything yet are full of joy and hope.
Orphans, Refugees, Widows
and the Blind: We discovered an
orphanage we have worked with before that was in deplorable condition, no food,
no shoes, no school. We assisted with
food and shoes and are praying about the level of future involvement that our
Lord desires. We came across a suffering
widow. She needed a roof on her
home. We put on a metal roof for her. We discovered the children of the blind
refugees without proper shoes. We
purchased shoes for them. We discovered
a blind school without food. We
purchased food for them. Who is “we”? It is you and I united. It is those who read our reports, pray and
assist us with support.
team returns: They spied out the
land of the Vai, Dan and Gola tribes and have returned. Theses tribes are a Muslim mixed with
animistic stronghold. Our team went to
Grand Cape Mont and Bomi counties. They
went to several cities, towns and villages praying, observing and discussing
with the people. This is from their
report:
Oddly, overall we were received with excitement
and joy. Many expressed their happiness
to see WSL coming to them. They said it
was a sign from God and answered prayer.
Grand Cape Mont is known as the center place for
Muslims and the Vai tribe in Liberia. In
West Africa they are the Muslim bridge between the countries of Sierra Leon and
Guinea.
Many Muslims are trained, smart and dedicated to
keeping out Christianity.
In Robertsport, the capital city of Grand Cape
Mont County, it seems that Christianity is accepted more and that many youth
are coming to Christ. But still there
are almost no churches in the villages.
We visited and saw that the Gola and Dan tribes have
large settlements in neighboring Bomi County.
Bomi’s neighbor, Lofa County, is also a stronghold of animistic
Muslims.
These counties are very poor and the cost of
living high. They do not grow near
enough food to feed themselves.
The Vai are naturally unhospitable and are a
very dependent people.
missionary team to them.
Water Filter Distribution: This month we went to 31 remote small villages
and gave filters to 251 homes providing clean water for about 1,255
people.
Press Shop Construction: The outside needs only small cosmetics and half
of the inside is now complete. Our team
here hopes to have it finished in April, Lord willing.
Pray requests: We are always overwhelmed with
praise. The fruit of our Bible Institute
is the sending out of workers into His harvest field. Still
remain in prayer for that the County Health Department that they will give us
permission to officially operate our dental clinic. Pray as we seek our Lord’s timing for sending
out missionary teams into the Vai, Dan and Gola tribes.
