12Stone Liberia Blog: A day of planning and the beach

After a much needed good nights rest, we all woke up to a very yummy breakfast of oatmeal, fruit, and cinnamon bread. We then headed off to the REAP offices to see where the teachings for the next couple of weeks will be taking place. We had a couple hours to get together as a group to refine a few of the plans and go over the itinerary for tomorrow. Dave and Jonathan will be teaching the Diamond Life series. We also took some time to walk and pray over the building and those coming tomorrow. We are all so excited for those coming to hear this teaching and apply it to various aspects of their lives as well as share it with others. After that we returned to Norman's home and headed off to the beach for the afternoon. It was so amazing to sit on the beach, listen to waves, and be awed by all the beauty God created. Jonathan and Hogan played soccer with some of the children on the beach. The rest of us took walks on the beach, played in the water, and talked to some of the children that passed by. Dinner was delicious and full of great conversations between us and our guest, Philip. Philip is the Director of Western Africa for EQUIP. It was more than a pleasant surprise to have him join us, encourage us, and give us some last minute advice for tomorrow. Our evening was spent in group prayer and then just some down time before bed.

Please pray for continued rest and energy for this week and the next. Pray that God would speak in and through Dave and Jonathan as they present tomorrow. Pray that the guests would be receptive, open, and that their would be a clear understanding of the teaching regardless of the language barrier. Pray that our team would be fearless in establishing relationships with the guests tomorrow. And lastly, thank God for his hand in all of this.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and supports.

God bless!
