prayer and fasting day

Today is a statutory holiday in Liberia- Prayer and Fasting day. It originates back in World War II when the United States had a military base here in Liberia, and Germany declared war on this tiny country. Knowing it did not have the capability to fight Germany, the president asked the entire country to fast and pray that the war would not come to Liberia.

And it didn't.

Once again I thank God that there is freedom to pray and worship God in Liberia.
