Hi Friends and Family Members,
In the past, I updated my blog only once or twice a month because I didn't want to overload people with updates. Now, times are different. Ebola is gaining momentum as it is spreading across Liberia. Prayer is desperately needed. The situation on the ground is very serious. My updates will be coming more frequently so that you know how to pray. Here are some recent developments.
- Kim Smith and Rob Schaeffer, two Wordsower missionaries, are planning on staying in Liberia to minister in the midst of the storm. They have prepared a packet on Ebola and are going from house to house educating people about Ebola and presenting the Gospel.
- President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has closed all but 3 of Liberia's boarders in hopes of controlling the spread of Ebola.
- President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has closed all Liberian schools and is considering quarantining several communities.
- On July 30, I got this text from Kim, "Radio news said 5 found dead in a house and 2 on the street. Riot and looting in Nimba. The storm approaches."
- US Peace Corps, Samaritian's Purse and many other organizations have pulled out of Liberia.
- Two airlines have suspended flights to Liberia.
- Since July 23, there have been 94 new suspected, probable, and confirmed Ebola cases and 40 additional deaths in Liberia.
- There have been confirmed Ebola cases in Bomi, Bong, Lofa, Margibi, Montserrado, and Nimba Counties. There is 1 suspected case in Grand Gedeh County.
Please pray for Liberia.
God Bless,
Don
