From the Field

Bruce sent this report in yesterday:

Things are going well on our trip to Ghana and Liberia. The Rafiki Village in Accra is a beautiful place with very well cared for children. They have a couple of sets of triplets and a few pairs of twins. They just got a pair of twins that were 5 days old after the mother bled to death in child birth. Presently they have 59 children, with more coming.

We got to our hotel here in Monrovia about 2 1/2 hours ago and had dinner in the hotel restaurant where we ate a couple of times last year when our team was here. We arrived a few hours late to Monrovia because our plane was late coming from Lagos, Nigeria. I rode alone with the driver taking all of our luggage. PTL, I was able to lead him to the Lord. He is from the Var tribe, an unreached Muslim tribe that no one is reaching, according to the Unreached, Unengaged People Groups list from the group Finishing the Task. His parents died in the war, and he said he had been wanting to become a Christian, but did not have anyone to explain to him how. I was able tell him about a church and pastor I know not far from where he lives. Pray for Thomas, named after a friend of his father, even though his parents were Muslim. Pray his wife too will believe.

Tomorrow we will go to a ground breaking ceremony for the new Rafiki Village they are going to be building. A Rafiki staff couple are here who made arrangements for us. They used to work in Zambia. Tuesday we will be visiting the orphan homes that we have been supporting.
