Our friends Smart & Etta from Baptised Man in Bangladesh
Brown School in Sierre Leone
visiting the US
On September 2, Rev. Patti Payntor opened her home for a cookout in honor of two visitors from Sierra Leone, Africa, Smart Senesie, Operation Classroom director in Sierra Leone, and Etta, supervisor over 300+ UMC schools in Sierra Leone. For those of us attending, we found our guests spiritually vital and enthusiastic as they discussed the people of their country rebounding from a decade of civil war ending around 2003-2004. While their seemingly unshakable spirits are remarkable, their needs are many and great. Comprehending the faithful, joyful spirit of not just our visitors but truly many of the people of Sierra Leone who experience daily the lack of clean water, electricity, and housing perhaps with only the earth as carpeting, leaves us aware of how blessed we are and raises the awareness of how we often lack the same faithful, joyful spirit we see in the very people we go to serve. International mission trips such as Sierra Leone, Africa allow us to commit ourselves to go eons beyond the travel experience alone. Lauren Noonan, taking the message of Jesus Christ on her Asian trips, and those who have traveled to China, India, Haiti, and Africa in mission find our lives changed forever and profoundly, not only in our faith, but awestruck in the truly remarkable faith-filled people we come know. God is indeed good and almighty.
