Lord willing, Steve Niemeier, Justin Monts and I will leave Indianapolis March 20, 2011, for a preaching/teaching trip to Freetown, Sierra Leone. Our plans call for us to connect through Chicago and Brussels. We have chosen to leave on a Sunday afternoon because of the cheap flight we were able to find.
Many, many brethren have opened the hearts and wallets to make this trip possible. As a result, our needs have been met and additional funds will provide Bibles, Concordances, workbooks, and other good teaching material for the Sierra Leoneon Brethren. We are so grateful for those who have made this possible, and I know the Sierra Leoneons will appreciate and benefit from these.
Our brethren in Sierra Leone have been working dilligently to prepare for our arrival. Arrangements have been made to teach each day at the Priscilla Street Church of Christ. These classes will be aimed primarily for those who preach or teach, but will be open to all. We will be at Priscilla Street from 10:00 am to 3:30 pm. Several congregations in the Freetown area have invited us to conduct "Gospel Meetings" in the evening. The church at Makeni has invited us to teach there on a Sunday.
If we have a reliable internet connection, we will try to post a new blog entry each day. However, given the current state of the infrastructure in Sierra Leone, we will not know if this is possible until we get there. Hopefully, we will be able to share this trip withyouonthis blog site.
Given that no volcanoes errupt in Iceland, we will begin our journey home on Monday, April 4th.
