Jim Ross off to Liberia

Hi team!
I am off to Liberia, West Africa right now and I’m really excited for all of us to be praying about this trip. According to UNICEF around 1 out of every 8 children in Liberia die before the age of 5. Many were orphaned during their civil war and many are struggling now just to survive. The exciting thing is that we have some fantastic local Liberian Christians who are passionate about helping and loving these children. I would love your prayers for God’s wisdom and direction as I work with our country director to see where else we can help MORE of these precious children (we are helping almost 1000 currently). I would also love your prayers for the people/children that we are seeking to serve that live in and around a large abandoned cement building (see video attached for a 10 second snap shot). I will be with a great team of people that includes Pastors, Doctors, Construction workers, teachers and others with great talents and great hearts who are making significant sacrifices to come serve the 300+ children we are trying to help in this area. Finally, please pray for safety for all of us. There is major fighting/killing next door in Côte d'Ivoire and many people are fleeing to Liberia. Maybe God will lead us to help some of them? Will you stop and pray right now for one of these things?!?!?
I thank God for you all the privilege of serving these children in partnership with YOU!!!
Jim
