Hugs from and Prayers for Phebian

1 Peter 3:15 

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."

Paul spoke with Phebian on March 17, 2014. She sends her love and hugs to all. She also has a few prayer requests.

#1  She misses her family a lot. She has been away from her family on this rotation for 8 months now!
#2  Phebian and Pastor Joshua are trying to change (or create) the health care delivery system in the Kono District of Sierra Leone. This is an incredible responsibility.
#3 At face value, nothing is easy in Sierra Leone!  Whether it is negotiating with leaders, trying to meet the overwhelming needs of the people, keeping up with the equipment breakdowns with no available parts or techical support, this is incredibly hard work!
#4 Most of all, to show the love and compassion of Jesus Christ to the people of Sierra Leone!

Thank you all for your support and prayers. It means so much. We are definitely better together.  

Solar Energy Project

Our next big project for the medical clinic and guest house building is the Solar Energy Project.  We have very exciting news in regards to this project!  The Sierra Leone Alliance through the Chapel at Crosspoint has generously donated $25,000 to our Solar Energy Project.  What a blessing!!  We need roughly $40,000 in order to have this project completed.  All of our power/electrical needs will be supplied via solar energy with a back up generator installed as backup for emergencies.

We have a contact in Sierra Leone who designs and installs Solar Energy Systems.  We were able to meet with him during the October 2013 trip.  So far, he has been great to work with by providing us with all our options, and taking into careful consideration the solar energy needs for our buildings.  He also has been providing us with a lot of guidance in other areas of need as well.  He works closely with a number of NGO's in Sierra Leone and has been doing this for over 10 years.  We look forward to this continued partnership!

If you are led to give to our Solar Energy Project, please go onto the donation page on our website at http://www.jrchc.org/Support/Donate.aspx.  Under 'purpose' select 'Global Outreach - Sierra Leone' and under 'other' write 'Solar Energy Project.'
