I think I am still processing all of my thoughts that have come with all of the events of the past week, so until I have formulated them all, here are some photos!
The ABC University dedication program in Yekepa, Liberia. Was so great to see so many of my past team members and friends- God is producing so many Godly leaders from this school- very exciting!
Dave and Trudy Petersen were able to come out for the dedication program, all the way from Alaska- Dave was the construction manager at ABC when I first started out as a teams coordinator, carrying teams to ABC. They are very good friends of mine and it was a blessing to see them again, and to witness this big event with them!
On Friday morning, there was an Operation Christmas Child shoebox distribution in Monrovia. Absolutely adorable kids!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday night was the festival in Monrovia, featuring Franklin Graham. 
Thousands came forward to make decisions for Christ! It was such an encouragement to hear the messages those nights- that the simplicity of the Gospel is powerful enough! Too often I think we become too caught up in the theology of it all, and it keeps us from sharing the simple truth of the Gospel.
Look at all these beautiful people coming to Jesus- and this is just a small section of them!
Each person that comes forward is matched with a counselor, to help them and answer any questions they may have.
There was some great worship time with both Liberian bands and also Dennis Agajanian and the Tommy Coomes Band.
With our Rural Festivals and the Festivals in Monrovia, over 91,000 people heard the Gospel, with over 13,000 commitments to Christ! Praise God for what He has done in Liberia!THANK YOU for praying for this big event- continue to pray for the pastors and counselors who are now doing follow-up with each and every person who came forward.
And, as soon as I have my thoughts gathered, I will share more about what happened last weekend!

Hi Joni,

Wow! Awesome! I read your blog because of the link on the Hoovers page. Your photos really capture the emotion and wonder.
Praise God!
I was there for that! Wasn't it incredible? Still going through 1000+ photos...that was my second trip to Liberia, and even more life-changing than the first one. Terrific photos, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to go back!
