Here’s a photo commentary of my almost two weeks traveling, teaching, and living in Liberia. I taught Course One, “Knowing God, Knowing Scripture and Knowing Ourselves” (the role of a pastor/teacher in teaching and preaching) of nine in our excellent curriculum with 5 others trainers last week. This week and next, I am teaching the history of Israel from Joshua – Esther, to a group of students at GraceLife Bible College. There may be a few pictures of my grandchildren who didn’t travel with me this time, but hopefully in the future.
