Liberia 2009 – “Our Eyes Were Opened”-The Weary’s
Rosie and I had the privilege of traveling and sharing with the Christian community in Liberia, Africa November 13-22, 2009. We were in the city of Monrovia with a population of 500,000. The whole country has been devastated by 14 years of Tribal War. They now have a new President, who is also a born again Christian and a Harvard graduate, working to build infrastructure in a totally destroyed situation. While there, we had the opportunity to speak 15 different times during the Reconciliation and Bridge-Building Conference, at churches, with governmental groups, universities, elementary and high schools, etc… It was encouraging to see Christian leaders throughout the government passionate about leading in helping Liberia once again become a strong Christian nation. This great experience touched our lives in ways that we will cherish for years to come! What a special joy to connect with so many of God’s people who are faithfully serving Him. Our eyes were opened, our lives were changed and we know that God will continue to link us internationally in ways that will glorify Him!
