Liberia Journal – February, 2018 – Day 1

February 4th, 2018

I left for a long visit to Africa.  My first stop – Amsterdam, then on to Monrovia, Liberia.

I arrived late at night – around 11 pm.  I was greeted by Cyrus Numbeh, and John Kollie of ICPM (Interior Church Planting Ministries), and my wonderful driver, care of CRCA and Dennis and Vania Aggrey. 

After clearing customs – the journey was pleasant, I was delivered to CRCA and was given an apartment to stay in for the week.  A huge – Tremendous blessing.  Queen size bed, separate bathroom and shower – With Hot Water !!! – a living room area and a little kitchenette – mostly a refrigerator and a sink.

After a nice long sleep, I greeted the day with a wonderful breakfast of usually some kind of porridge, maybe some eggs, and always fruit.  Pineapple, Bananas, Papaya, pretty standard fare. And oh yes – don’t forget the coffee!  The coffee in Liberia as well as in Uganda is generally bitter.  I think it’s predominantly because they don’t know how to best roast their beans and also in the amount of coffee they use.  Note to Self !!! – the café bustello instant packets were a huge blessing.  Plan on 2 packets per day for future trips.
