Beginning the week of January 5th entries will begin to bring updates on the ground from Monrovia, Liberia West Africa. I have been asked to serve as the Program Manager for Safety and Security for Samaritans Purse. Please pray for safety for all of Samaritans Purse personnel involved with the Ebola Task Force and that the Gospel will continue to be proclaimed.
My hope is to share with you an honest open report of what is actually happening on the ground in areas of Liberia which has recently gained attention in world news. Due to security needs and protocols requiring some need for confidentiality there may be some day to day activities not shared. However, the reality of the suffering and needs in the areas served may be shared along with the stories of hope and steadfastness of a people who have suffered much over the past decade and longer.
The Gospel is a point of light that I hope to witness first hand penetrating the deepest levels of fear each child, mom and dad may endure in the face of the Ebola virus.
Our unique outreach is about reaching law enforcement and government officials in third world countries with teams of U.S. police officers and chaplains. By teaching Ethics, Community Oriented Policing and Child Protection lasting relationships are established. Then by networking with local pastors "Law Enforcement Appreciation" services are held where team members may freely share their personal faith in Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that Christ will be honored among the nations.
We admire you greatly for taking on this job; we'll be praying for you.
