day 5. (briefly...)

Hello everyone!

We have had an incredible, and incredibly full, day of ministry today. Breakfast at 8 was followed by a morning with the Rafiki orphans, time spent at the Service to Servants construction site burying the Word of God in the foundation of their new facility, and then a few hours at ELWA hospital praying with sick men, women, and children. We ended the day with a Liberian meal and spent an hour or so listening to our host, Christine Norman, tell us her amazing testimony of life through the war. Then, we returned to our rooms and Danielle led the girls through an exhausted debriefing of this very full day. Needless to say, we can't wait to sleep tonight!

You should all know that the wifi came on last night after I came home from blogging... your fierce prayers are powerful and effective! Thank you for praying! Please pray tonight for Lindi, one of our teammates, who has been experiencing some difficulty with her stomach for several days now. Pray that God would restore her health and her joy completely--it's pretty difficult to be happy when you're sick in a country across the planet from your home.

Sorry that this is so short tonight... I wish there was time and energy for more. Tomorrow, we will go to church and have our sabbath day before we begin a week full of ministry. Good things lie ahead... but first, my pillow is calling.

Love,

Annie

Enjoy your day off. I pray God meets you in rest and worship. Counting the days until I see you again:)

Reading the updates is like opening gifts on Christmas Day. I can't wait to see the "nugets" that are left for us to enjoy. It is exciting to see the hand of God in the daily events of the team.
I believe we can claim the promise of Romans 12:1-2 for all of you. As you offer your bodies as living sacrifices ..."each of you will "know the good, pleasing, and perfect will" of God.
I trust that God will give everyone a great week of ministry and supernatural strength to accomplish all that He has for you.
