Dot Liberia

admin December 21st, 2008

Our relationship with Imago Dei Community now allows us to receive tax-deductible funds to help us give relief.  We’re ready and excited to involve people outside of our own capacities, and multiply our effect on the Liberian people.  In a sense, as I go to Liberia, I go as you: your hands, your heart, your efforts. I will be there to give to people in need, and yet I go with your support and give on your behalf.

I brought this photo back from my time in Liberia a few months ago.  We met these families at the medical clinic set up at Mt. Barclay Christian School.  They had come from distances to get help for their children, who were gravely ill and dehydrated. Saah Joseph, director of the school, said that “this clinic was on time.”  If we were not there on that day these babies would have died.  He kept repeating that we were “on time.” I believe God was present, and we were present “on time” with Him.

Jill, a missionary just back from Liberia, told me of many instances where children died from illnesses that were easily preventable. Just ten dollars worth of medical care would have literally saved these children.  But, their mothers could find no help. I know that being there we will be confronted with many opportunities to make a difference. This is why we’re going back to Liberia, to be “on time” for what God is compelling us to do there.  With your support, we will be present at the places of need.
