Dear Friends,

Greetings in Jesus name! There is an air of expectancy in Monrovia today. UNMIL has been patrolling tanks and troops throughout Monrovia while people are in a cozy mood, awaiting the arrival of the new interim head, Charles Gyude Bryant. As UNMIL patrol passed by our offices in downtown Monrovia, people cheered and blessed God for the opportunity to see efforts for Liberia's resuscitation.

UNMIL completed a three-day cordon and search exercise over the weekend with reports of arms retrieval in many communities. I know a house opposite my local church in Brewerville where a dozen or so fighters of rebel LURD reside, that was raided early Saturday morning [at about 5] by UNMIL in their arms search.

Other political heavyweights have also been arriving in town. These include General Roosevelt Johnson, Charles Brumskine, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, amongst others. I see in many Liberians the desire to seize this chance to rebuild their lives and restore their country to its rightful place amongst the nations.

Pray for us, that tomorrow will be history we will not forget for the better of the country.

Thanks, God bless

Reverend Brown, CCC Liberia
