3rd 1st 2nd |
Part I.We travel under the auspices of S.A.V.E., Sierra Leone Agape Voluntary Effort, a ministry begun by our friend David Musa following a ten-year civil war in Sierra Leone.
Since that time, S.A.V.E. has also assisted in relief efforts for hundreds of families in Sierra Leone affected by the ebola virus.
July 2 Leave home; travel to Freetown, Sierra Leone, via Brussels;
David will meet us in Freetown.
July 5-7 Leave Freetown and travel with S.A.V.E. team to Kenema Village.
Chris, a board member, will work with Kenema villagers on food
preservation. Diane (a vet) and her husband Peter, from OK,
plan to assist the village people in animal husbandry.
Our church body has supported S.A.V.E. since its inception.
Dick and I will simply be observers, meeting the people,
interacting with their lives, and trying to capture stories and images to share with our ZF family, and other family and friends.
We have a large amount of school supplies to share with the
schools in Kenema and Freetown. We will pray for God to show
us how to best distribute these. We look forward to meeting the
teachers and the children!
July 7 - 13 David, Dick and I return to Freetown. We meet with the
leaders of the main Christian ministry partners of S.A.V.E. Dick
found helpful curriculum developed by Open Hands to train
people in essential business principles according to God's
foundational truths. We will go through this with them, to equip
these leaders to teach the people in their respective
organizations. We also plan to teach essential computer skills.
July 13 Leave Freetown for Accra, Ghana.
