Lots of people asked me thatbefore I left. It's eaiser to answer now that I've gone. The scripture say " the harvest is plentiful the workers are few pray to the Lord to send workers into His field". Isiah says " who will I send Who will go? and I said here am I send me."
Ok but why Liberia? Why not someplace in the US. My answer is why not both? Weekly Carol and I are involved with peoples lives with marriage mentoring or Bible studies here in the US. The best answer is prepare yourself, be willing to go where God may send you. Then pray that God will use you. The last few years Carol and I have been praying that God will open doors for us and that we will be willing to go where He sends.
This trip I learned more about fish farming. I learned a lot about prayer and worship. I had the privilege of working with Liberian preachers they are very dedicated. I also made wonderful friendships with 20 Orphan boys. I have never seen anyone work so hard in my life without complaining..
Thanks again for your prayers and support. I hope you enjoy the blog. at the bottom keep hitting older post to continue. I hope to travel to a new country in the Caribbean in Jan,
Then Carol and I hope to spend three weeks in Haiti "Lord willing"

Wanna look sharp for Jesus
Saturday eve. I spoke about the lost sheep, coins and son in Luke 15The kids got to bleat like sheep and helped me look for the lost one. The screamed with joy as I put one of the small ones on my sholder and announced he was found. They related to the lost coins. Because of post war inflation it now takes 70 Liberian Dollars to equal one american dollar. There coins are rare dow the smallest bill they use ia a $5 bill. When I asked if any had any coins many have lost them , because their not used anymore..
There was lots of good singing. One of their favorite is tomorrow tomorrow What will you say tomorrow when Jesus comes and you reject him today.
What will you say?
Sat eve. I had the privilege of staying at preacher Festus Flomos home. He said it was a 5min walk I think that was 5 Liberian minutes more like 45 American. I voluntered to cary two plastic chairs on my head, after 15 min I wish I had not. Then I looked beside me and a 10 yr boy was caring a 8' wooden bench, time to stop whinning. We arrived at there home in was in an area of rolling hills , a new settlement with lots of new buildings. Flomos home was block two small bedrooms 8x10 and a large 10x20 room that was used for church service.
They insisted I sleep in their bed and gave me a new sheet still in the pacage. Iaccepted and they slept on the floor with the 5 children.
Sunday morning came early 4:30 am . Children were up repeating scripture. The Lord is my shepherd. This was followed by prayer. The prayer was simple and meaninful Lord we thank you we are among the counted. Somebody wanna praise you, somebody wanna dance, somebody wanna hear your word but they cant, they in the hospital or the morgue but we can cause we counted among the living.
