Off once again

This time Liberia, Africa.

This month has been so crazy. I apologize for the sparse correspondence.  Right after I returned to the UK, the emi UK staff had a vision weekend away which was super.  Then we put together a flat for the summer interns who were on their way.  My sister came to visit. The three amazing interns arrived. Orientation happened.  I flew to New York for a wedding. and Tomorrow I leave with a team to go design an orphanage outside of Monrovia, Liberia.

If you've been following my blog, you will remember I wrote about the project in Liberia when I first started raising support for it.  However, there has been some conflict between the local ministry we were serving there and their international headquarters.  So we have postponed that project to a later date.  God had another project ready to go at a drop of a hat which happens to be within a few miles of the original one!  We didn't have to change around flights or accommodation or anything! So crazy!

The African Dream Academy


Monrovia, Liberia




Who They Are: "To feed an African child is good, but to educate an African child is better"
The African Dream Academy is a Christian organization dedicated to making Liberia a better place by empowering orphan youth and children to achieve their dreams through providing a quality education that addresses their spiritual needs and provides them technical skills without a high cost.


Where the eMi Team comes in: On the 85 acre site outside of Monrovia, African Dream Academy would like to build a technical and vocational school with classrooms, a multipurpose hall, staff and student boarding, etc.


And thus, I embark on a a journey to Africa tomorrow.  This has been a rather quick introduction to our project, but there is still much to be done before leaving in the morning.   


Prayers.


Please keep me and the rest of our team in your prayers over the next couple of weeks! It is suppose to be quite hot and in the middle of monsoon season, which is not my ideal comfort climate. Prayers for safety, for unity of our team, a good witness while we are there, and an awesome design that we can pass on to the ADA ministry!!


Thank you all so much!
