Originally, we had planned to make this visit in January, but our visas were not issued in time due to unknown problems at the Liberian Embassy in Washington, DC that had something to do with the transition to the newly elected Liberian president and staffing at the embassy. Our visas were eventually issued but they expire in early 2025, so we decided to squeeze in a visit before the end of the year.
We had all hoped and prayed that Pastor John Hein would be able to join us on this trip, but his cancer treatments and current health situation are preventing him from traveling internationally. We continue to pray for the Lord's healing so that he can return to his close friends and assist in spreading the Gospel in Liberia!
Pastor Joseph has a busy schedule planned for our brief ten-day visit. We will spend much of our time traveling between locations to attend a four-day pastoral conference and to meet with the leaders of a group of independent pastors who have recently withdrawn from the United Methodist Church of Liberia. They have formed an independent church body and have met with Pastor Hein and Pastor Kwiwalazu several times.
Your prayers for safe and uneventful travels are requested and much appreciated.
