A love they will never forget

Five ladies, aged 19-35 who had suffered horribly during childbirth, resulting in urinary incontinence came to the ‘Africa Mercy’ in Liberia (the country directly south of Sierra Leone), amongst 40 others. Sadly they could not be operated on in July or August. Mercy Ships staff had mercy on them and at a cost of $1,200 sent them to Freetown for us to treat. We did so, with success in each case. The day they were going home after six weeks they were downcast to hear that the road bridge was broken down, and there would be a delay. Helen and I invited them to a beach restaurant trip and a drive overlooking Freetown. It was the day of their lives. There was leaping and shouts of glee as they paddled in the sea for the first time! They will never forget the love of Jesus expressed through Mercy Ships staff.
