Fall 2012 Trip Preview

Tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday 10/23) will be the time for departure for another trip to teach the gospel to our friends in the Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa area. Cindy Hill, Connie Niemeier, Mitch Johnson and myself will meet up in Chicago and fly to Freetown via London. We will arrive in Freetown Lord willing on Wednesday afternoon around 4:50 P.M. Sierra Leone time. This trip is going to be another historical trip in the work in the Freetown area. It will be the first time that two ladies have made the trip to teach ladies and children. Cindy and Connie will have about 48 hours of public teaching time during this trip not counting some private teaching opportunities that always come up. They have prepared 325 story boards for the teachers to use in teaching children. They will have about 5 hours a day of teaching in a school consisting of ages 6 through 12. Each Saturday they will have 5 hour classes for the ladies. Mitch and I will be teaching daily from 9:30 A.M. until 3:30 P.M. Then we will have a two hour break and conduct a three hour session each night at the Priscilla Street congregation. We each will have a lesson each night and have an open question and answer period. Then on each Saturday morning we will be having a three hour class on elders and then a five hour men’s class (while the ladies are having their class) on various subject centered on “Searching for Happiness”. We could not be making this trip if it was not for the support of many of you as individuals and the congregations you attend. Please pray for us that we will do the work the Lord has presented us with in a way that will be pleasing to Him. Also, check the blog routinely as we plan on posting a blog each day that we can – providing the internet service will allow us to do so. I want to thank John Smith for being our blog coordinator for us. God is good! All the time! And this trip will not be an exception!
