Day 01 - Will you go without knowing?

"We are really here, in AFRICA!" - this was the quote of several team members yesterday after our travels to Monrovia. We thank God for blessed and smooth travels over the last couple of days. And thank you, friends and family, for your prayers! We could not make this journey without your support! And we cannot thank James Davis enough for his love and hospitality. He welcomed us with open arms at the airport.
Day 01- Will you go without knowing? What a perfect subject for out first day devotion. We are learning FLEXBILITY is KEY! Being the first group to Liberia and helping with the first YL Camp in Monrovia is amazing but along with that we all have to be open to taking the planning basically hour by hour. Most all got a great nights sleep - the ocean being 150 yards away from the mission house probably helped with the sounds of the crashing waves. We are blessed to have the accommodations James has provided for us. The setting is perfect for calming the heart and letting one open up and focus on preparing for what God's has planned for the team and the camp this week in Monrovia.
After a peaceful morning of quiet time, team camp assignments, the team had a great lunch followed by a visit to the University of Liberal. What an experience!! Imagine a group of +/- 15 Christians all wearing the same red YL t-shirt roaming the campus and able to explain what YL is all about to curious students. God's work was definitely among us.
Then our day ended with a fantastic worship session among our team and the Liberal YL team leaders. The instant bond between the two groups is unreal. Relationships have definitely already bloomed and will only grow strong through the Great One above.
What a high and amazing first worship together.
As a group our prayer request is for God to go above and beyond our expectations tomorrow at the first day of camp. We pray each child will be overtaken with God's love! We ask for the energy and strength to be imitators of God these next three days of camp. - Ephesians 5:1-2

We love you and miss you!
Tune in tomorrow for the update of the first day of camp! :).
