Mike’s big day

Mike had a big day with the last day of the men’s conference and he was the speaker at our revival service tonight as well.

Our morning was relaxing as we all sat outside early to drink coffee and watch the morning begin. A little neighbor girl came over to sit in Jenny’s lap while we sat outside. She didn’t mind that at all.

Once our morning finished and it was time to set up for the men’s conference I carried chairs to the church with a couple of other ladies and Jenny set them up for us. They have to do this every time they have a service since the church isn’t secure enough to leave the plastic chairs. They remove all the speakers, fans, chairs, etc to the annex building next door to Emmanuel’s home that has a steel door and a lock.

The men’s conference went well as we sang, Mike spoke and we broke into groups to discuss some questions to make each of us think of how we can be better Godly men.

As you may notice the men attending seem to have matching shirts. We were able to purchase shirts here in Liberia after the Monday conference and they were delivered on Wednesday. Pretty good service. They all say ‘A Godly Dad’ on the front and back. Here is a group picture at the end of the conference.

Mike and I were the only two without a shirt. Perhaps that will help you to find us in the picture. 🤓

The evening revival service started about 30-45 minutes after the men’s conference ended. It was a busy afternoon. We had a great time there with Mike, Jenny and I singing ‘In Christ Alone’ as a special. We are singing again tomorrow and our last day song will be ‘I’ll Fly Away’ which should be well received as this is a song I first sang with the Jonah family on our first visit in 2012.

Mike spoke tonight and that went well also. He enjoyed sharing with LCMI as he is really connecting with all the people here.

We came home to another snack before heading to bed. Tomorrow should be a little lighter with the men’s conference finished and only the final revival service scheduled. Women of Purpose will be making the meal for our ‘hand to mouth fellowship’ as they call it here. They are already busy working on things starting tonight. I even had a chance to try my hand at it before heading to bed. I can say the women here must have strong shoulders to do this for any length of time.

We are looking forward to the fun and fellowship tomorrow night.
