Facing Darkness

Very well done documentary about the Ebola crisis in Liberia and the two non-profit organizations that jumped in to help the sick. The focus was on the efforts done by the Christian ministry of Samaritan's Purse. We saw Ebola through the eyes of the doctors, nurses, and support staff as they cared for the infected and tried to avoid infection of themselves. Faith in God does not ensure our safety. Sometimes it brings us into difficulties.

This movie was a reminder of how complacent we can get living in a great country that provides us with everything while there are those, such as in Liberia, that are living in poverty. The Godly men and women serving as missionaries in Liberia are an example of how God can use those willing to serve to improve the quality of lives everywhere. To leave the comforts of home and serve in a country such as Liberia is humbling while also awesome to fathom. This movie shows how God is in full control of everything even when circumstances seem overwhelming. I highly recommend this movie, and it will surely stir up many questions and topics for discussion. Well done.
