Betty Jonah Orphanage Return Visit

Abraham lives at the Betty Jonah Orphanage.  I'll tell about him below.

Betty Jonah age 68 talks with her son, Emmanuel.  I also got to meet Hannah, the sister.
She's a nurse who lives in Monrovia but helps here too.

I'll probably share several posts on the return visit to see "my new friends."

As before, Emmanuel asked me to speak to the children;  I wasn't expecting that

since I'd spoken the time before and so I had to think fast.

Emmanuel had told them about Barry, and so I told the children about the (3) Barry Vickery's. I told them that 2 of these men had come to know Christ when they were children like those I was talking with.  "Bear" however is only two.  I asked the children if they wanted to pray that Bear would give his heart to Jesus at a very young age.  Abraham, pictured above volunteered.  It was touching!

I also taught them all "The Greeting Song" and told them that God could bring us together regardless of whether or not we were in the same room together.  Oh, yes, and my friend Peggy had brought "Mississippi" pins.  They loved that and learning how to spell Mississippi.  I told them about growing up in Greenville, Mississippi and asked if they all had heard of Greenville, Liberia.  They all had!  (just trying to connect very different worlds in ways that bring us together rather than separating us.)
