A BIG "Thank You" to all of you who helped provide gift bags to share with Liberian Orphans! We were overwhelmed with the support. Nancy Molenhouse was asked by Christine Norman of REAP http://www.reapliberia.org/ to provide 100-200 gift bags for some of the orphanages that she oversees. Nancy wasn't sure if she could get that many, and put the word out. Neighbors and friends from church kept dropping things off, sometimes just leaving them on our porch, so I'm not even sure who all helped, but thanks so much!
Nancy will be able to take all of the bags, and extend the project to benefit additional orphanages. I found a YouTube video about one of the orphanages, Phebe Grey, done by another mission organization. It will take you there, and you can visualize the children receiving their gifts.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvKRmjiuq0o
In addition to the bags, we asked for reading glasses for the many Liberians who can no longer read regular sized print. We received about 50 pair, the majority coming from Diane Raup and Anita Baker.
We are so honored to have generous, caring friends like you. You are indeed the hand of Christ to these precious Liberians. Nancy and team leave Dec. 31, 2009 for Liberia. Please be praying for them, that the travel will be uncomplicated, that weight allowance issues be resolved, that their ministry will be fruitful, and that they will be a blessing. The team will also be assisting in well and generator repairs, a roofing project, etc. Perhaps someday, YOU could join a team and go as well!
