LIBERIA Update: Part 3

LIBERIA: News from the Front Lines

We're hearing awesome things from our team still on outreach in Liberia, West Africa! Just the other day we received word that they had already seen over 6,000 people come into a saving relationship with Jesus. These 6,000 have turned their backs on Islam, on witchcraft, on following false gods and given their lives totally to the one true God. What victory!

They have also counted around 250 healings! God still works miracles today and finds mercy on his people with physical ailments so that they may know that He is real, alive and all powerful. This doesn't just happen in places like Africa but has been witnessed around the world, even in our own backyards: Boston, Pittsburgh, other US cities and towns. What have you believed God for lately?...

The team has been showing the film "End of the Spear" as a follow up video the day after doing outright evangelism in specific villages. At the end of the film, the team has been sharing the need and biblical application for forgiveness. Countless droves of people are finding themselves on their knees forgiving others. And these aren't always simple wrongs they must forgive. I'm not just talking about forgiving someone who spoke badly against one's family. I'm talking about the heart wrenching, painful release of finally giving forgiveness to those who have murdered their entire families. Who have taken everything away from them. Who have brought war, destruction, death and poverty to them. The burdens the Liberians have carried for so long are being lifted in Jesus name...and it's a beautiful thing. Pray for continued freedom for these people, the ones the good Lord came to save, came to liberate, came to set free and see fly once again!

Four of our staff are returning from Liberia today. They have spent the last 2 weeks with the DTS students and staff on outreach. Once they are rested and back on their feet, hopefully I can get one of them to write to you, sharing some of their firsthand experiences. Please check back in a few days.

The rest of the team returns back to Pittsburgh on Sunday. Pray for the remainder of their ministry, that they will finish strong! God's not done quite yet...

(Pictures coming soon!!)

Over & Out,
