Wednesday AM

Tuesday night for dinner Sis. Stewart had a U.N. Colonel who is from the same village she is from in Ethiopia over for dinner. His name is Shireke and he is a member of the muslim faith. She has been witnessing to him about Jesus name baptism and the infilling of the Holy Ghost. He is extremely hungry for the gospel and see's the necessity of baptism and the Holy Ghost. There are other people in his command who are telling him that the only way to baptize is in the titles (father, son, holy ghost) so it has created some confusion in him and he has many questions. At the conclusion of dinner he spoke these profound words "When I first came to mother Stewart I was blind, but now I see the light!" Praise God! Please pray for Shireke that he will follow through with Baptism before he flies back to Ethiopia next Friday.

Last night it poured rain once again, this time for most of the night. The picture at right was taken from the Stewarts balcony looking down into the compound.

This morning at breakfast Bishop Stewart told us many stories of tragedies that took place during the war and how many are still effected by the memories and struggles of post-war rebuilding.

The conference will start tonight at 6:00 pm (That's 11:00 am California time). Bishop Stewart says that services will be outside under a tent and that many of the saints are making their way from the interior regions of Liberia to attend the Conference. The night services will be open for everyone to attend but the day sessions are for the men only. We are believing God for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit to open this conference!

Hey Boston! There are all kinds of lizards here in Liberia. This one pictured was hanging out on the stairs right outside of my room. I saw one that was twice as big as this one but he ran off before I could get a picture of Him :-(

We are getting ready to head into downtown Monrovia to do some errands with the Bishop and then it will be off to the Conference.

Once again thanks for your prayers for Revival in Liberia!
