CLP continues to grow and expand. We are currently expanding into three more communities in Bokomu district, which is an unreached area we have been working in for over a year. A road has just been recently made to reach these communities, and I am excited to be able to empower and teach the women in Bokomu! Currently in all of Liberia we have 814 women attending classes right now.
A few months ago, it was announced that Liberia was hosting its first marathon! In addition to the marathon is a 10k run- equivalent to 6 miles. Right now there are over 40 SP staff who have signed up to run this event (the 10k, not the marathon)- including myself. Training at a regular schedule has been very difficult considering all of the traveling up country, but yesterday we had a practice run of 3 miles and I felt great!
Please be in prayer for all of our SP staff. We have made the transition from dry season to rainy season, and with that comes many colds and especially malaria. Two of our expats (and maybe a third) have contracted malaria this week alone. Another expat staff member had a motorbike accident (is ok, just very sore), and another broke her hand. I know satan can use many ways and devices to attack our team, and this can also be one of them. Please pray for health and safety for us as we do our work here in Liberia.
This week I am heading out to the bush with our new intern Jamie, and our new volunteer Nikelle, to help with VBS follow up. Please continue to pray for our VBS team, as they are the first program to enter into these communities, and are given the opportunity to impact these kids!
