In case you missed my earlier posts, I’m in Sierra Leone for a couple weeks. I will share more later, but wanted to give a quick update. We are here to teach and train pastors for Africa for Jesus and it has been an incredible experience so far.
Here are 10 things I’ve observed/learned the first few days here:
1. I take for granted warm shower and air conditioning
2. The African people love to worship…and they know how. When they pray, God’s Spirit is present.
3. Grilled goat meat is not bad.
4. Women (and a few men) who can balance enormous weight on their heads and walk miles…amaze me!
5. African people have huge hearts.
6. Temperature is relative. In the upper 80’s here some have on coats and jackets…while I sweated.
7. The hearts and desires of people don’t change much because of cultural differences.
8. The power of Christ to change a life is not limited by demographics or geography.
9. Children are precious at showing unconditional love. I understand more why Jesus encouraged the children to come to Him.
10. People are even more loving when they are shown love.
Can you identify with any of these from your observations of life?
Blessed by your updates. Praying for God's bounty. Looking forward to a pictorial.
Thanks Theresa for your prayers.
The harvest is plentiful & am happy the workers are willing.May Jah continue to empower you.
