The Rocks at the Beach
Liberia Prayer Team, please pray that we will be able to minister to these people when we get there in a couple weeks. Pray that God brings an Isaiah 61 kind of restoration to these people.
God please meet all their needs, and be close to them in their brokeness.
"To comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve in Zion-- to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated ; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devasted for generation."
Isaiah 61:3-4
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!
Overall, a great success!
Thank you Jose and Yanni for making this happen!
