Isn't technology great? Another word from our travelers:
"Spent the day in Freetown today. We surveyed small business owners about their businesses and also did a little shopping. I wish I had space for a full description. The market is like nothing the team had ever experienced. We broke into teams with a very trusted Sierra Leonian college student acting as guide, interpreter and body guard, though the greatest danger was from high prices and crazy traffic. Wrapped up the evening discussing what we learned and with final preparations for tomorrow's training season. Please pray that the training will be effective. Also pray for Christine, one of the Hope Center staff our team has grown to love. Her foot was run over by a motorcycle in a freak accident. It is swollen and painful but most likely not broken."
Father God - how we love you and are so very thankful you are sovereign. I thank You for the privilege of being able to pray together for other believers - some we know, some we love, some we don't know - but we love them because You love. Father, I thank you for Christine, for her service in Sierra Leone. I ask Lord for healing for Christine, mostly for your glory to be revealed in the lives of those around her. Let others draw near to You, Your truth because of what they see in her and the others with her. Thank you for the opportunity to go to Sierra Leone and serve. We love you Lord, Amen.
As always, thank you again for the update. I bet the market was really fun (I would have LOVED to see that). Glad to hear they're having a good time.
