Our first Liberia "Groupies" meeting!

Romans 12:11-13 "NEVER be lacking in Zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. (12) be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer, (13) Share with God's people who are in need. Practice Hospitality"
As you may know by now we are headed to Liberia the 17th of June to serve alongside the local churches and ministries.
Awe! What a JOY and privilege it is to be a part of something so much bigger than anything I could have imagined or hoped for. We had our first "meeting" last night. It took place via conference call since we are all so scattered about. Some in Minnesota, most in Charlotte NC, one just outside of Asheville, NC and us in Knoxville TN. Do you see? God is pulling people together from all walks of life and different locations to serve His people in Liberia! You wanna know one of the MANY CRAZY parts of this? One of the team members knows my first Sunday School teachers! I was 12 and went to VBS for the first time then eventually started attending this church. I happened to start mentioning different people in her part of the "world" and she knew them! Our paths are crossing with the same people! Weird? NO! God? YES!
I also found out that another couple going on this trip has met our children in Liberia. They sent us additional pictures and even have a videoed of our daughter dancing!
I love my God. thank you Jesus for allowing us to be one small part of what you are doing.
Keep us in your prayers as we seek to serve the Lord in this area. We NEED those prayers!
