So, after the positive feedback that Luke Kuepfer and I received from the pastors that we trained in Uganda this past summer, I contacted the pastors and agreed to go back to Liberia to begin the same four-year development process that we started in Uganda with a group of 20-25 pastors there.
I will be traveling to the city of Ganta, which is located in northern Liberia near the border with the country of Guinea. Pastor Alexander Freeman, and his wife Fannia, will be my hosts. The people that I will be working with are very, very poor, but they love the Lord and want to build His Kingdom.
I have posted my schedule below. It lays out what I will be doing each day. Thank you in advance for your prayers and I would ask that you especially pray for the pastors that will be attending the training. I plan on updating the blog every evening, beginning on Sunday evening (as long as the electricity and internet connections cooperate). I will do my best to post a few pictures for you.
Blessings!
