In Liberia

The more he recollects or recalls the earliest impression of what happened to him in Liberia,the more he is committed to extolling the Lord for bringing up his soul from the grave and keeping him alive.I just want to agree with the Bible by saying ''what shall l render onto the Lord for all his benefits towards me?....."God's saving act towards his life in Liberia during the civil war led by Charles Ghankey Tailor of National Patroitic Front Of Liberia (NPFL)against the ruling government of H.E Samuel Kanyon Doe as the president.He found himself at Sanniquellie on December 23,1989 till he found himself in Monrovia in february 1992.

Comfort his wife and three children Gabriel Junior,Kofi and Yaw did enjoyed their smooth flight from Kotoka International Airport Accra Ghana, to Robertsfield Airport in Margibi County in Liberia.They were given a very nice and warm welcome by the President of a renowned church in Liberia..All things being equal,he started his teachings,preachings counselling and attending to the needs of members of the community at large from Sanniquellie to some of the towns in the country.

He ocassionally visits most of the High Schools and their social camps in the bush to acquaint himself with the traditional way of worships and beliefs which included the male and female genital mutilation,respects for adults,counselling,marriage and home and family education.Due to his British assent,he was easily identified among the rest and the most frequent questions he was always asked by them was;

Why are you here in Liberia?
Are you here with your family?
Where do you live and how long?

In response to those questions,he used the occasion to explain his mission of being invited to work throughout Liberia to help maintain peace and tranquility ,and preach the gospel especially. In 1989,he organised a six-day special camp meeting at Shilley Memorial School at anniquellie for all christians in the country and surprisingly even some members of the protestants churches attended.

The predominant ethnic groups in Nimba country were the Gios and the Manos.The Gios men were mainly hunters and their women were greedily grabbing any ethnic possession they might lay their hands on.Any male stranger who came to marry a woman from the Gios clan,would automatically forfeit any property,any possession that both had acquired throughout their marriage life automatically became the woman's...

Unlike the Gios,the Manos whose men preferred staying in town transacting business and the women loved buying and selling in the market..There were few Senior High Schools in the Gio settlement as compared to the Manos where there were many different senior high schools.

The story gets more interesting with the life experience of this Pastor's tragedic moment spent in Liberia.You are kindly to share with a friend to get others motivated..

Keep glued for the rest.There's more to share!

在利比里亞

他越是記得或回想起在利比里亞發生的事情的最初印象,他就越是要頌揚耶和華把他的靈魂從墳墓裡帶出來,讓他活著。我只是想同意聖經, “為了他對我的一切好處,我將把什麼歸還給主呢?”在利比里亞利比里亞的生活中,由利比里亞民族陣線(NPFL)的Charles Ghankey裁縫率領的內戰,他是Samuel Kanyon Doe閣下的政府總統。他於1989年12月23日在Sanniquellie,直到1992年2月在蒙羅維亞發現自己。

安慰他的妻子和三個孩子Gabriel Junior,Kofi和Yaw確實從加納的科託卡國際機場到利比里亞的Margibi縣的Robertsfield機場順利的飛行。他們受到了一個著名的教會主席的非常熱烈的歡迎。利比里亞。所有的事情都是平等的,他開始他的教導,宣講諮詢,並從桑尼奎列(Sanniquellie)到全國的一些城鎮滿足社區的需求。

他非常不情願地訪問大部分高中和他們在叢林中的社會陣營,以便了解傳統的崇拜和信仰方式,包括男性和女性的生殖器切割,對成年人的尊重,諮詢,婚姻和家庭和家庭教育。他的英國同意,其餘的很容易辨認出來,他總是問他們的最常見的問題是,

你為什麼在利比里亞?
你和你的家人在一起嗎?
你住在哪裡,住多久?

針對這些問題,他利用這個機會解釋了他被邀請在利比里亞工作的使命,以幫助維護和平與安寧,特別是傳福音。 1989年,他為全國所有的基督教徒舉行了為期六天的紀念學校特別營地會議,令人驚訝的是甚至還有一些新教教會的成員出席了會議。

寧巴國家的主要民族是吉奧斯人和馬諾人。吉奧斯人主要是獵人,他們的女人貪婪地抓住任何可以放手的民族財產。任何來自吉奧斯族的女性來的男性陌生人,會自動喪失任何財產,在婚姻生活中獲得的任何財產自動成為女人的...

與Gios不同的是,男人們喜歡在城裡經營生意,而女人則喜歡在市場上買賣。吉奧定居點的高中與馬紹斯相比有很多不同的高中。

這個牧師在利比里亞度過的悲慘時刻的生活經歷讓故事變得更加有趣。你很樂意與朋友分享他人的動力。

繼續堅持下去,還有更多的分享!

Beautiful one there!

A hostage propagating the Gospel? God has various way He does His things. Let's not try to understand Him for our own good because the moment we do, He ceases to be the almighty God. Nice story @mcsamm

Interesting one @mcsamm
