Young Liberian Men and Boys Take Up Guns Again…

but, thankfully, it is probably not what you are thinking.  This time the guns that they are using are battery-powered screw guns, and the purpose is for construction – not destruction. 

Today we were privileged to preach at Missio Dei Assembly of God Church in Caldwell-New Georgia, Liberia, under a church tabernacle that was built less than two weeks ago under Gaylord’s supervision in cooperation with men and boys from the church and community. This is a new church plant being mothered by the Assembly of God church in New Kru Town.

It was so exciting to see people coming together to build a house of worship for the Lord. The women even participated during the construction by cooking meals each day. 

Thank God for the opportunity to reverse the effects of years of civil war and to remember that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and the rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Though the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, they are mighty through God to the pulling down of spiritual strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4).

God bless each of you who partner with us to build the kingdom of God in this corner of the master’s harvest field.
