Generator Training Day

This past Saturday the team met at 7:45am and worked hard until 7:30pm to build a generator shed. The team did a magnificent job, and if I might say, it is the nicest looking generator shed I've ever seen! The plan is to build sheds exactly like this at our different locations in Liberia. We all feel like we know more about what to expect now that we've done it once. Next step...repeat in Africa in the summer time!
Starting the day working hard.

Note to self: Don't jump on trampoline right after lunch.

Belynn and Emily having too much fun. :)

Jose, Ron, Brent and (I think) Collin leveling the bricks to perfection.

After a long day, we pose by our new masterpiece.
We want to thank Lon Vonkohn and Ron Kaye for being our trainers for the day. We couldn't have done it with out you. Thank you!!

Success!

The Liberia Awareness Event ended up being a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came, and everyone who made it work. It was so good to meet so many people that were passionate about Liberia in the same room. We all feel like we know a little bit more about God's heart for Liberia then before.
















Feel free to leave us some feedback in the comments. Here is the link to the video we used in the meeting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uwWlFHhB2o

Generators


The Generator

It is our plan and goal that as long as we are going to Liberia, that we would also be installing generators. Just as we hope to bring energy and light to the spirituality in the country, we will also be doing this is the most basic of ways. Not only do we hope to bring light into dark hearts, but we hope to bring light into dark homes and orphanages. This brings Jesus's, "You are the light of the world" to a more tangible concept then we've ever seen before.

This Saturday (November 22nd) the team is going to be learning how to build a shed and install a generator. Those who will pray, please pray that this time will be effective. Its sure to be cold outside, and a little difficult for those of us who are mechanically challenged. :) Its so important that we have a good knowledge of how these things work, so that we can install them with excellence, and teach the people how to maintain them.

Also, DON'T FORGET!! The Liberia Awareness Event is tonight! Come to the Cafe Theater in 12Stone Church at 7pm. Invite anyone you wish! It will be a compelling evening, that will allow us to look into the heart of God. We can't wait to see you there!
