January / President Elect

Mercy Ships builds relationship and share Christ with president elect, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and staff.



Much has happened since last blogging. The events of Liberia at this time will make the history books. It is interesting to be a part of it.

Mercy Ship crew have prayed and sung hymns lead by the Vice President's family.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected and inaugurated as Liberia's president and as the first female president on the continent of Africa. She is a professing Christian who asks for prayers, and Harvard graduate with political experience.

President Sirleaf's agenda includes water and electricity. She has come for a tour of the ship, and our leaders talked with her about water supply. We are having difficulties getting water to the ship. In the process of keeping the supply of water to come to the ship, our crew has helped the city supply water to the citizens. Also our crew members have used their welding skills to assist with the rebuilding on the government grounds.

When I watched UNCIVIL WAR a documentary about the war I was surprise to learn the Liberia considers themselves as the 51 state of the United States. As I researched about Liberia I have learned the U.S. assisted and colonized former slaves here.
