Late night reflections

Hello all,


Tonight I  have some time to reflect, as we have been here almost a week now and have been privileged to have seen many different areas of Monrovia, visited schools, NGOs, ebola survivors,churches and had the chance to see what everyday life is in Liberia. What is apparent in all we see is there is soo much need in Liberia. I have met so many people dedicated to change, dedicated to making the country better for the next generation and doing the best they can with what they have. We visited a school today that is free to attend because one woman saw great need in her community. The teachers all work for free there because they know the impact education will have on these children. She is also starting a sewing program for the mothers so that the families of these children will prosper and hopefully be able  to continue the child's education when they grow out of the school.
I am finding the need here heartbreaking, we just don't have the time or the resources to help everyone. God is doing great things here in Liberia and that is encouraging, but it is soo hard to pass, hungry children, or orphans with no family, on your way to go help someone else. I am trusting that God is leading our team to where He needs us most and I am trying to find comfort in that. Please pray for great change  to come to this beautiful country. Please pray for our team and that God will use us in a mighty way, and please pray that we have the wisdom to do this.

Blessings and goodnight
Don
