Liberia Town Worship Center Under Construction
JM, the person of Peace, and members of the town cell groups have decided to construction the town worship center. Not only have they decided to construct a place of worship, but are deeply involved and personally contributing in terms of materials and labor.
The group constructs a place of worship. The church building project will seat more than 400 persons when completed. (See photo essay below)
PHOTO #1 Shows four members of the construction team cut sticks ( 305 ground poles and 82 for the roofing) to begin constructing the house of worship.
PHOTO #2 A group of women willingly carrying some of the poles on their head.
PHOTO #3 A group of men help cut ground pole to measuring height of the building. After carefully observing the seriousness of the building project an observer declares his willingness to form part of the Cell group as well as the working force. To God be the glory.
The men and women are 50 – 50 up to the task. The men leave early morning to go into the bushes to cut the poles and other materials, and later returned to the site to move on with construction. The women voluntarily assist in transporting the poles and materials on their heads to the construction site and provide meal and safe drinking water for the working men.
It is worth noting that these women walk for about 30 minutes in trying to get the poles to the construction site. They enjoy being a part of the construction. They are excited about the construction and are always the first to arrive at the site.
It is raining season in Liberia. Most path ways in the villages have become dangerous and almost inaccessible as a result the heavy down pour of rain. This has limited and placed a temporary restricted on our movements between villages.
Second in a series of updates from a 2008 Liberia trip by Rev. Browne. All names and towns are changed or abbreviated because of security concerns in this region.
The community visited is 85 percent Muslim with a few thousand inhabitants.
