Welcome Back!!!
September 2008
I thank God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:3-5
Dear Family & Friends;
We arrived in Liberia on the 22nd of August. We hit the ground running as we got right into our ministries. We are still staying at the guest house as the home we will live in is rebuilt. Not only does it need a new roof, but windows, doors, wiring, plumbing, etc, etc, etc. So we enjoy being available when the contractors have questions. One day we came by the house, and the workers were about to knock the wrong wall down! See our blog for updates: carrparts.blogspot.com
Matt has been busy preaching, meetings pastors, working with ECUL leadership, visiting churches, and building relationships. He has a heart for these shepherds of Liberian churches. Praise God for a series of great meeting with ECUL. We are making great progress and on the right track.
We were welcomed back with joy by not only missionaries but Liberians too. We are thankful to be here.
Fellowship is sweet! Our first SIM Day of Prayer since we arrived back in Liberia. How sweet to sit among brothers and sisters in Christ and pray together for the ministries around the Nation and here at ELWA.
Personal Thanks! Once again we come to a new month, overwhelmed by His faithfulness. Thank you each for your faithful prayers, consistent support, and personal encouragement. We deeply appreciate you! What a journey!
SIM - ECUL Partnership
· Over 144 church in Liberia make up the Evangelical Church Union of Liberia (ECUL)
· SIM no longer seeks to lead ECUL, but rather partner with them to help them fulfill their vision of reaching Liberia for Christ.
· Please pray for Matt as he works with ECUL Church leaders to draft a written agreement that will describe SIM’s relationship and our partnership as separate organizations.
· ECUL churches want to start Christian Schools. Pray for this goal that it be a blessing to the families in the churches, as well as an outreach to the many communities throughout Liberia. Brenda will be helping train teachers wherever there are schools.
SIM - Liberia
· Brenda is now the SIM Personnel Coordinator for the Liberia Office part time.
· She still gets to spend time each week at ELWA Academy.
