Christmas:
Christmas is very different here in Liberia. There are no Christmas trees, no gifts wrapped or a special morning for kids to excitedly wake up to. But, the kids have a good time! Those who can afford will buy their kids new clothes and shoes (often these clothes are U.S. Goodwill rejects). The girls will get their hair fixed beautiful. The boys love sunglasses. They will get dressed up and go from house to house to show off and receive their “Christmas” much like our Halloween. The homes fix extra food and purchase candy to give.
Dresses:
Greene St. United Methodist Church had given us over 80 dresses for young girls that we handed out on Christmas day.
Blessings:
This month we cut our missions in half and gave over 70 of our sacrificial, unpaid, volunteer leaders that live in extreme poverty a blessing. 45 received $40 each and 18 received $15. Others also received Christmas blessings. It was so they could have a Christmas for their children. The blessing was much appreciated. Imagine your children not receiving anything for Christmas; well this did not happen to these this year! Amen!
Toffi:
During a recent mission trip to Toffi our field leaders invited the elders, youth, Zoes (medicine men), and Bodeos (society priests) to a Bible teaching. The teaching was called Dancing with the Devil, it teaches about separating from the Satan. The head devil (witch doctor) from the next town was present and brought confusion. He was angry and said that these have come to destroy our traditions. The complaint was brought to the chief elder, so they went under the cocoa bush for discussion. The devil threatened to take them into the bush and tie them (tying is very brutal and can leave huge scars). The team told the devil and his disciples that they were living sacrifices and did not care what they did to them and that they would continue speak the truth and preach the Gospel. After more than an hour of heated discussion and threats the chief elder stood and said, “No! No need to tie them. The time is now for us to do away with our traditional practices because they are not profitable to us.” Then 4 of the elders renounced the society and the devil, stating that they would no longer serve the devil. Many verses come to mind. Here are a few:
Prayer requests:
Schools are opening. Most do not have school fees, every day they struggle just to find their daily food. Pray for the schools fees of our committed leaders, there are no free schools. Please make these prayers part of your daily prayers: Pray for a great revival to sweep through this country, pray that Liberia will have a healthy church in every village in our generation, and pray for our leaders who truly suffer for the Gospel.

Field Leaders being trained in Maryland County |

Many verses come to mind. Here are a few:
- 2 Cor 4:11, “For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.”
- Matt 11:12, “From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.”
- Phil 1:28,”Without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.”
French Bibles for the Ivorian Refugees:
World Missionary Press donated 1,500 French Bibles to be used in the refugee camps.
Wordsower Bible Institute: The president has lifted the State of Emergency and now allowed schools to open. Praise God! WBI will start right after I return from the U.S.

Coming Home:
I fly out of Liberia on January 16th. When I arrive there will be a car full of provisions waiting at the airport. I will immediately go to a remote cabin in Kentucky for 21 days of isolation because of Ebola. My return flight is April 30th. That will give me 3 months to be with family, friends and to visit churches. I hope to spend time with each one that prays and supports us here. It will be good to be home!
Christ Cares School. The teacher is one of our field leaders |
Schools are opening. Most do not have school fees, every day they struggle just to find their daily food. Pray for the schools fees of our committed leaders, there are no free schools. Please make these prayers part of your daily prayers: Pray for a great revival to sweep through this country, pray that Liberia will have a healthy church in every village in our generation, and pray for our leaders who truly suffer for the Gospel.
