SUNDAY IS THE VERY BEST DAY OF MY WEEK....AS THE LEARNERS COME INTO A VERY SMALL AND SWEAT DRIPPING ROOM WITH THE LOUD GENERATOR AND SMOKE FILLING THE ROOM, THEY COME WITH EAGERNESS AND SMILES. THIS ROOM, THOUGH NOT IDEAL IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD, IS THEIR SAFE PLACE. THEY RECEIVE LOVE, ENCOURAGEMENT AND AN OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY GHOST. I COULD THINK OF NO BETTER PLACE TO REST MY HEART FOR GOODBYES. WE ALL SAT IN A CIRCLE, AND THEY EACH SHARED THEIR POWERFUL TESTIMONIES. I NOW KNOW WHAT HEAVEN FEELS LIKE.
SINGING HYMNS OF PRAISE!
TOGETHER WE BECOME ONE IN SONG!
HOLDING HANDS IN A CIRCLE SINGING THEIR CLASS SONG!
OH, MY SWEET SHANNON WHO GIVES HER WHOLE HEART AND SOUL IN EVERY LESSON!
SISTER KIMBALL IN THE BACK TRAINED AND READY TO CARRY THE PROGRAM EVEN FARTHER IN THE HEARTS OF THESE AMAZING SISTERS!
THE LAP OF LEARNING TOGETHER!
THE WORDS OF A LEARNER FLOWING FROM THEIR HEARTS AND TESTIMONY. THE GOSPEL IS SIMPLE!
OUR TESTIMONY CIRCLE AND ANNIE ON THE LEFT SHARING HOW THIS GOSPEL SAVED HER AND HER FAMILY. AS SHE PUT IT, "I WAS A DRINKING AND BAR WOMAN". NOW, SHE COMES TO THE CLASS ON SUNDAY, BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO READ THE WORDS OF GOD FOR HERSELF.
I TOLD THEM THEY WERE PIONEERS, BECAUSE THEY WERE THE FIRST LITERACY CLASS IN ALL OF LIBERIA WITH THIS NEW GOSPEL LITERACY PROGRAM THAT THEY HELP CREATE.
WITH OPEN ARMS, THEY ARE PREPARING TO ENTER THE WORLD TO READ, WRITE, TESTIFY, UNDERSTAND AND LIVE THE WORDS OF GOD. OUR WORLD AND THEIRS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!
