This is the official blog for Eric Z's 2010 mission to Liberia, Africa. I'll be going to Africa with 30 members of The Grove Bible Church from June 12th through June 28th.

Yekepa, Day 2

Yesterday was our second day in Yekepa. Things are starting to get rolling now. The basketball team repaired the goals at the public park in Yekepa. The medical team sorted supplies. The band unloaded equipment, set up in the chapel, and practiced.

The dirt bike team took our first ride yesterday. We are all relieved to actually be on the bikes now. We rode to the Liberia/Guinea border and took a walk through no mans land. We then rode into the city of Yekepa and visited the market. We visited the Grace Baptist Orphanage...the kids were beautiful and all of them came out to greet us and shake our hands. The people of Yekepa are incredibly friendly, we are being treated like rock stars. As we doubled back by the orphanage, the kids were out on the road screaming and waving at us.

I'm going to wire up the helmet cam today, so I should have some video in the next couple of days.

Be praying for the dirt bike team that our rides are safe. Pics to follow!
