Day 4 & 5

Monday morning we met for a powerful time of devotion and prayer lead by Bro. Kyle and Bro. Garza. After the devotion we were informed that Monday would be the only day for shopping so Bro. AB picked up the group and took them downtown. The road conditions have improved in some areas, which makes the trip a little easier. All of the men rode in the camper shell of the truck while the ladies piled into the cab of the truck. Bro. Eric was glad that the men would be getting the experience of riding in the back of the truck. Unfortunately the police pulled us over because we had 4 people in the front seat, which is crazy when you consider you see people with their cars overloaded with people hanging out the window. I guess they now have a law in effect that says that everyone in the front seat has to have a seatbelt on. Bro AB had to negotiate his way out of the ticket. Everyone had a great time for African clothing and buying their souvenirs. Everyone was able to see the Palms Hotel, the hotel that the group had stayed at before, this group is very glad for the change in Hotel and location.

After a long day of shopping we headed to the Stewart’s house. Sis Stewart had a lovely meal ready for us. Everyone is enjoying her Ethiopian cooking! After dinner the rain started pouring down and they had to turn off the generator because of the lightning. We sat and listened to Bro. Stewart tell stories about the war in Liberia and all that happened to him and his family. It was a great time of learning. Before we left we had a prayer meeting with a great outpouring of the Spirit. What a great sign as to what was to come at the crusade on Tuesday night.

Tuesday we started with our morning devotion, Sis. Garza lead worship and Sis. Josie taught. What a great lesson and move of God. Pastor and Bro. Garza were at the Bible College teaching and preaching. We were all picked up for lunch at the Stewart’s and again Sis. Stewart prepared a great meal. Thank God for a great woman of God that is willing to work so hard to feed so many people.

Tuesday evening was the first night of the crusade. It was awesome to see the hundreds of Liberian people that came out to the soccer field to hear the word of God. Sis. Rose lead prayer for the offering, Sis Brenda played the keyboard for a group to sing a song, Sis. Garza gave a greeting to the congregation, and we danced and worshiped until the power of God came down. Pastor Wilmoth and Bro. Brandon preached the word of God increasing peoples faith and there were 57 people that claimed to receive the Holy Ghost and twice as many people claimed healing. Thank you Jesus!!!

The weather at the crusade was great! There was a nice breeze blowing the whole night. About an hour or two after the service was over the rain came pouring down. Thank God for allowing the rain to wait until after the service. There have been people praying about the weather and God has proven faithful and the weather has been better than expected. It has been hot and humid but not nearly as bad as we have expected.

Tonight we are expecting an even greater outpouring of the Holy Ghost! Please continue to pray for our team and for the Liberian people to receive the Holy Ghost!
