This is the latest report from Isaac Daye....
"The Apostle Paul escaped ship wreck on number of occasions yet he did not give up making mission trips, traveling from Kenema to Kono in Sierra Leone on Saturday 13th December 2008 a distance of 79 miles that should have taken a little over three hours but took us over eight hours, we narrowly escaped car wreck when the jeep we traveled with broke down five times in less then six hours and eventually, give up the right hand front tire in protest that it could not endure the roughness and rockiness of the bad road. At one point we had a breakdown in the middle of a tick jungle and waited for over an hour for repair work to be done on the jeep by the driver and his conductor and Ron used that time to share our mission with a police sergeant and a Muslim resulting in their enrollment to study Godʼs word with WBS. Often after going through these dangerous mission trips one is inclined to say that is my last time but the joy of our labor and the saving of souls far out weight our personal safety and comfort and this compares us to keep on going. Lordʼs willing we will be back on a similar mission in November 2009. My luggage was left behind in the Gambia and for the entire two weeks I was gone I had to borrow clothe from Brother Ron who was willing to share everything he had that was helpful to me even including one of his Bible. At one point Ron said ʽSatan have been at work against us on this tripʼ that is how he summarize all the pains we went through battling against mosquitoes, lack of electricity, standing for hours waiting for bus or cap,ect ect. Love demands that we make sacrifice and for us sacrificing the comfort of our home, time and life is worth the result the Lord blessed our trip with: 41 souls baptized into the body of Christ, 25 in Sierra Leone and 16 in Liberia also in Sierra Leone we conducted the first graduation of a part time Bible school that we support materially and over 40 WBS students graduated at our 4th annual graduation in Liberia. Over 3,000 new enrollments to study with WBS were made in Sierra Leone. Are these not compelling reasons why we must continue making these mission trips and for you to keep on praying for and supporting us? I will appreciate an answer from you. Joining me two year after his last visit Brother Ron was overwhelm with the number of church building project we have undertaken and the progress. St Paul bridge received $3,250 from me provided by Center Street church of church and Bro Chad, KONO CHURCH BUILDING IS COMPLETED THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF MILFORD HEIGHTS AND CENTER STREET CHURCHES OF CHRIST $5,000 WAS RAISED AND PROVIDED FOR THAT WORK( PICTURES ATTACHED) AND THE MOST RECENT CHURCH BUILDING PROJECT AT ISAAC DAVID TOWN CHURCH OF CHRIST HAS RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $850 FOR THEIR FOUNDATION. ON GOING WORK AT WEST POINT AND BREWER VILLE ARE AT ADVANCE LEVEL GLORY BE TO GOD THAT AS THE CHURCHES IN LIBERIA REBUILDS WE ARE PARTNERING WITH THEM THANKS TO EVERY ONE WHO PARTNER WITH US IN PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT..
