Off to Liberia!

I’m sitting in a guesthouse in Nairobi, after a very quiet Sabbath day! I listened to the Ballymena Adult Bible Class and morning service, and -- now that I count them up – three other messages on my Ipod while I was taking a walk etc. I don’t know of any church here in Nairobi that would be in any way sound and that I would be able to find, so I opted for the safe option – just to stay put. It’s good to have access to the internet and be able to listen to the services though.
I flew up here from Kitale yesterday – here’s the plane we travelled in. It was quite exciting – probably the smallest plane I’ve ever been on! I got the front seat so I could watch the pilot and co-pilot at the controls. It was a pretty smooth flight too – just a little bit of turbulence as we started the descent. The flight was about an hour long – then I got a taxi and spent an hour and a half or two hours fighting Saturday lunch-time traffic in Nairobi – and in all that time we only went about 25 kilometers!
I leave for Monrovia in the morning. Paulcy Cange will be arriving in Liberia tomorrow evening as well; then Dr Allison and Rev. DiCanio arrive on Wednesday I think. Keep us all in prayer as we travel, and then for the time spent there itself. Dr Allison and Rev. DiCanio will be teaching the pastors each day in the “workshop” as they call it – I’m not quite sure of the subjects they’re covering this time, but it may be things like homiletics, cults, etc. Apparently, I’ll be teaching the kids again while the adults are in the workshops, so please pray for this. Pray that the kids will be settled and quietened so that they can listen. Most of them have no concept of what it is to sit still and listen! A lot of the adults don’t either, it seems sometimes!
I’m not sure of what else is planned for the trip. I’m taking my laptop with me, although I’m not sure if we’ll have an internet connection anywhere. So if I get a chance, I’ll blog while I’m there!
