mission. This time everything went well. Unlike our
previous visit when we stayed in the capital city of
Monrovia, this time we went to Gbarnga in central
Liberia. The medical outreach and the revival ser-
vices were successful.
Our chief host was Rev. Edward Togba, the HCF
National Coordinator for Liberia, who, with his
team, showed us Christian love in a practical, self-
less way. We were challenged by the dedication
of our brothers and sisters in Gbarnga in spite of
untold hardship and personal tragedies during and
after the civil war in that country. There is a passion
for evangelism and that is all they talk about. They
also SING very well, in HARMONY!
