Beach day

Today we were able to visit a place both Jenny and I stayed on previous visits. This is a guest house in Eternal Love Winning Africa (ELWA). It is a missionary complex of sorts. Samaritan’s Purse and SIM mission board are located there.

It also has the hospital that was built to battle the Ebola epidemic back in 2014. If anyone is interested in a documentary on the Ebola crisis, I highly recommend watching this movie. It is put out by Samaritan’s Purse. Here’s the trailer.

Upon arriving at the guest house we were able to visit with Becky, the wife of the couple that oversee the African Bible College located inland in Liberia. They have other universities in other parts of Africa as well. She allowed us to use one of the rooms to change so we could go swimming. For those of you from Country Bible Church who traveled to Liberia in 2012 you will recognize the building as well as the beaches around. It was special to return there where memories of my first visit to Liberia came flooding back.

Here are a few of the pictures from today.

When we returned we found out that LEC was back online. You don’t take the power for granted when you can’t rely on it. It was good to have a meal of cooked okra soup over rice with mango and watermelon for desert. After the meal Jenny and I stayed in our room for a while enjoying the air conditioning. Now, as I type this, I am listening to the choir practice across the yard. Such a peaceful sound.
