"Relief" has never been a word that we like all that much because it very seldom has a view to long-term sustainability, but we knew coming back in January that we felt compelled to assist numerous families through the rough time they've had as Ebola has not only claimed lives and caused a whole new set of orphans, but every man, woman and child has suffered the side effects of rising food prices, inconsistent work or pay and a lack of basic medical care. We are thankful to folks in the USA for supporting this area of ministry which will run for 6 to 12 months depending on the need. In January and February, 18 family units received parcels, and this week God impressed upon us that we must add an additional family. The people here are so grateful! And we so appreciate Abraham for making this happen for us logistically! We could not do it without him!!!
