Some more Pics!

Here are some pics for Liberia, November 2015.  I'm so excited to share my experiences and photos with all of you.  I will be posted new pics each week with a story to accompany them.

 This is a thirteen-year-old girl from the Doe community.  The Doe community is a slum community in the capital of Monrovia.  This young girl was carrying her newborn sister through the flooded streets of the community.  The image below gives you an idea of what it's like in the Doe.


 This beautiful little girl was very happy to have her picture taken while doing the dishes.  In Liberia, like most third world countries, the simple act of doing the dishes can be deadly.  The water used can be contaminated with typhoid or parasites, causing illness and possible

This is just a small view into the lives of those in the Doe.

Thank you!

A big shout out and thank you to Emmanuel Baptist Church, Bloomfield. Thank you for all who came out Sunday.  I really enjoyed sharing what God is doing in Liberia. I hope you all had fun and got a chance to try some Liberian food!  Most importantly, I hope you were encouraged by what you heard!  God is good.

Merry Christmas

Well it's been awhile. Don and I have taken a break since being home. We have used this time to evaluate our mission, plan for the future, and enjoy our family. We are excited to get back into the swing of things. Starting in January we will be hosting a new batch of exciting fundraising and partnership opportunities!  Don and I will be taking another team to Liberia in November 2016. From January until April we will have spaces available for anyone feeling called to come with us.   Being in Liberia was an amazing experience. It really allowed me to see first hand the need in the country.  I was also able to grow in my faith and bring that growth and knowledge home to my family. 
Christmas is almost upon us and I'm so thankful for the time spent with family that this season brings. It warms my heart to know that on December 25 my friends and family will be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ along with my Liberian family so far away. It is through our faith and love that we are connected. I wish you all a Happy Holiday season and a Very Merry Christmas. From my home to yours God Bless xo

Heading Home

Last day in Liberia, it  is a day mixed with bitter sweet emotions. I cannot wait to get home and see my .beautiful wife and my wonderful children, and yet I am sad to leave my Liberian friends behind. I have truly been blessed by the people of Liberia, from Augustine and his crew of YFC volunteers that made sure that my stay was safe and comfortable, to the smiling faces of the many people I have had the chance to meet  and always being greeted by welcome to Liberia.  It has been amazing to see the great work being done by YFC Liberia,  how far it reaches into the many communities around Monrovia, and how many lives are being affected.
I will be travelling for the next day and a half so please pray for safe travels. Thank you all for the continued prayers and support.
I will leave you with a few pics from the worksite today.
Blessings
Don
