Benin & Guinea!

We just assumed we will be in Sierra Leone and Liberia with the ship as that is where it is presently. however, we just recently found out that the ship will not be returning to Sierra Leone or Liberia for at least two years. instead, the Africa Mercy is planning on going to Benin and Guinea over the next two years! from February 2009-2010 we will be with the ship in Benin and from 2010-2011 we will be in Guinea!!

At first we couldn't help but be a little disappointed as we were expecting to be in SierraLeone and Liberia and so have been reading up on the countries to familiarize ourselves. yet, we are also excited that it will be a new people and country not only for us, but for the whole crew. we share in Mercy Ships' joy as God is continuing to open more and more doors in Africa and giving more opportunity to share Christ's love and healing to more people and countries in Africa. Praise the Lord!
