Liberia: Looking forward with great vision

Education Coordinator to Africa, Jurgen Rudolph, recently visited Liberia for the first time. He says, “I spent about a week in the capital city, Monrovia, with the national overseer, Moses Hart, and Bible school director, David Kiamue. One day we traveled far and deep into the rubber tree plantations and rainforest. It was the only day when rain was not pouring down, but we still got our car stuck in the rainforest. However, God and half a village helped us push the car free.
Together with Richard Baker, project coordinator for World Missions, and national leaders, we visited around 10 churches. The Church of God in the U.S. supports the reconstruction of church buildings that were destroyed during the war. It is overwhelming to see the pastors and leaders, who despite the past war and having been refugees, serve God and the needy Liberians with joy and compassion. The Church of God in Liberia does not look at the past tragedies and losses, but looks forward in a very visionary manner.”
