Saying goodbye....or as they say in Liberia "bye for now!"

Two weeks ago we joined with our church family (Heritage Baptist Church in Avondale, AZ) for Sunday service which was the last time before we leave. They were such a blessing and encouragement! Pastor Jason commissioned Greg and prayed over him. We were still short on the funds needed for our travel expense and Heritage pulled together with everyone from the mom's and dad's to the little ones putting in their change and they blessed us with the full amount we needed.....and 70 cents to spare! God is amazing, isn't he?




Greg had the opportunity to bring the message and share his heart for ministry in Liberia. This picture is our "row". This was baby Matty's first time at Heritage.



They also took some time to pray over our family. Awesome!


After the service we all enjoyed a festive "Liberian style" meal! Everyone participated and brought Liberian dishes. Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to do this, especially to Patty who so graciously provided us all with links to Liberian recipes and for organizing it all!

The tables were beautifully decorated!

Everyone enjoyed a variety of Liberian food.

This is one of our display pieces that we put up when we present at churches.

The kids all had fun playing after the meal. What a brother! (This is Jacob and Liberty)

Just before we left we were able to get a quick family picture. Thanks everyone! We will miss you all very much.
