Dear brethren warmest greetings in the name of
our loving heavenly father. I'm humbled to present to you the good work
that took place in Rwanda.
(1) I was able to travel 15th thursday nght (December) and able to
serve in seminars on Friday at Nyamagabe, Saturday at Huye, and
Kugosozi on Sunday.
On June
28th, 2017 Bro. Austin Williams travelled first to Accra, Ghana where I
met
with Br. Edward Nkasah at the airport to catch our flight to Liberia on
the
28th of June, we also had the privilege to meet with new contacts of
How to
study the bible project who came with Bro. Samuel Amoo, Bro. Isaac
Danso and
Sr. Sarah Asare. Upon arrival in Monrovia, Liberia we were met at the
airport
by Br’s Nicholas, Maxwell, Paul and George who drove us to Monrovia
where we
stayed for the past 5 days in Caldwell district in a guess house call
AMANDA
GUEST HOUSE.
Our
witnessing activities were focused on one specific theme “The Chart of
the
Ages” in the interior villages of Monrovia. Our first day activity
started in
the Upper Caldwell area, Benson District
at the Viarama National Academy where 31 were in attendance.
After every 2 hour witnessing session, we set
aside 1 hour for question and answers. Brs. Edward and Nicholas also
participated in addressing questions from the Audience. Few examples of
questions:
We proceeded
next to a place within Coffee Farm in Caldwell, this is the exact place
of
meeting for the brethren in Liberia where they always have their class
meetings
and here 23 people were gathered. The study was on the Importance of
the Old
Testament which was requested by the class and this study took one full
hour,
then we closed for the day.
Day two of
our meeting was in the Caldwell Scout District Community at the Refuge
Chapel
Center where 42 people were present and the head pastor was pastor
Maxwell Weah.
In spite of the heavy rains people came to listen to the harvest
message. After
a 2 hour session followed by spirited question and answer session we
proceeded
toward the next village in Mount Coffee Harrisburg in the northern part
of
Monrovia. We were greeted by 54 members of a local prayer meeting hall
lead by
Pastor Franklin. People sat for a good hour until the heavy rains
stopped and
heard the study on the chart followed by question and answer session.
The
audience requested us to return again not during the rainy season
because they
wish to hear more of this truth.
The next day
we proceeded toward Western part of Monrovia called Banjor in Virginia
there
were 33 adults and 18 children in attendance. After our regular study
followed
by question and answer session we proceeded to place in Dixville
Township
called Caldwell Mercy Seat Chapel. There were 35 in attendance.
Following are
some of the questions which emanated during our witness activities.
*
Was Jesus Created as a being?
*
Why should good people go to Hell?
*
How does John 1:1-5 reads?
*
Did Adam Die?
*
Did Adam Die the spiritual death or physical
death?
*
What was the first Law given to Adam?
*
When Adam & Eve were sack from the
garden, who replaces them?
*
Where
in the Bible can we find in
the Bible that Adam & Eve were created in the 6th day?
*
Why
are we called Sons of God?
* You
said Apostles are followers of Christ, but not all followers are
Apostles! What
do you mean by that?
*
What
does second death means?
* If there are
mistake in the King James Bible,
have they change that?
*
I
have heard people saying
Rapture, what is your thought about that?
On Sunday
2nd of July 2017 we conducted a worship meeting along with Br. Nicholas
and 12
others where they meet at one Mr. Franklin’s abode every Sunday. The
meeting
was for 4 hours with a 30 minute break.
COMMENTS AND
OBSERVATIONS!
• I did not wish
to return because of abundant
harvest work with less time I planned on to stay and few laborers at
the moment
• The land is
prime for harvest work because
people are kind gentle, willing to listen and they are yearning to hold
on to
something
• Very poor yet
people are content and happy.
Because of poverty corruption is prevalent in the official settings
• Teachers and
doctors are the lowest
paid for example a
primary school
teacher gets paid $80 per month while next door in Ghana the same
teacher $250
per month
• Directors and
political ministers make
minimum 15 – 20K USD per month + car, driver and a house
• The only way
Liberia makes money is through
import tariffs hence no multinationals or outside investments flowing in
• 50% of the
population is Christian out of
4.5 million population with about minimum 10% unemployment
• Because of their
civil war which lasted for
14 years ending in 2004, people do not have jobs.
• It is like a
rain forest from March to
October it rains like Noah’s flood yet not a foot of land is cultivated
everything is imported. Banks do not lend money for farm equipment
because the
recipients have no collateral
• If one wants to
help on humanitarian grounds
it’s a bottomless pit, never be enough
• I had very
successful public witnessing
experience for 3.5 days
• Since I have
been abundantly blessed in all
areas, when I compare to those who are less fortunate than I am, I want
to
press forward to be a responsible steward in following Matt 24:14
• Hence wishing to
seek the lords direction
with intentions of frequent trip/s to Liberia while trying to establish
a good
working ecclesia and groom pilgrim workers from within Liberia
All those that attended these activities received the following
materials and
were encourage to read, thus facilitating follow up studies.
