We thank God and the many of you that have been praying for us, along with the outpouring of encouragement and concern for us. The Lord allowed us to get funds first thing this morning from a bank near the airport and we headed straight into the city of Monrovia. Although it took us all day we were able to get tickets for the 3 of us to travel together. The earliest it could be worked out is for us to leave on Friday evening on Kenya Air to Accra, Ghana; From there our original airline, Arik, was able to reroute our original tickets getting us back to Abuja, Nigeria, on Saturday. (Arik staff thought it would be at least 2 weeks before they resumed operations.)
Although there were many people moving about in the city, there were some noticeable changes. Outside of almost every shop or business place there was a large container of a mild solution of chlorine water with a spigot and everyone was expected to wash their hands before entering. There was also an effort by most people to not touch one another.
Please continue to pray for the many people that are already infected with Ebola and those that are providing them care (especially for two missionary health workers from the US, in Liberia that are currently ill). Pray also that all the necessary measures are put in place and carried through to contain this deadly epidemic. Keep Nigeria in your prayers as well as there have been a number of Boko Haram attacks in the last several days.
Thank you again to the many of you that have prayed for us and to the Lord for bringing us this far.
