    50th comment! I love that poster/art piece just over your dad's shoulder. I will acquire this piece. The video was what I call a fireside chat on origins....well done and craftfully presented. Your parents chose a life that is explicitly giving. I admire that. I don't view that life choice as a sacrifice, either, for a life dedicated to giving is all about growth and not decay. Bravo!

    My early childhood was in West Africa, my parents were international development workers helping governments set up the public school systems. They were there during the Biafran war and came very close to the conflict. A cholera outbreak also made things difficult, but the experience was very positive and enriching overall. Some of their best years too. Nice to see someone with a similar experience.

    Wow,Joel what great people your parents are. I didn't know that they were missionaries in Liberia. My husband is from Liberia,he came to the US for post medical school residency. The war prevented him from returning. That war has changed Liberia for the worse. I'm from the Caribbean and have visited Liberia several times. We were actually in Liberia when the "World stopped" in March of 2020. We do some charitable work there. We have a trip plan for April 2022. God willing we will have an uneventful trip. Thank God for people like your parents that are willing to leave the comfort of their homes to spread The Word.

"They shall be known by their fruit", and you are the best example of fruit from your parents. I'm always in awe of the kindness, humbleness, and complete unconditional compassion, and love you always display and share with us, your viewers. Our family has been extremely blessed by finding your videos 😊👍
    P.S. I want, again, to thank you for the very special prayer you prayed for our son Noah. I thought you would like to know, Noah is on the road to recovery and, because of God, has not suffered from the surgery. Just the next day he was back to singing (one of his favorite activities)! To God be the Glory! "Where two or more are gathered together, there HE will be also"! Thank you 🙏💖😇💝

    Wow Joel I have to say your father is a very distictive speaker sounds like a very educated man. I see where you get your humbleness and kindness from. The way your mom explained the war and how it affected people. No doubt she became a nurse, caring for others. My word your parents went through a lifetime. You certainly have a blessed family, Loved how your dad said God took care of us and we waited for God to open a door for us, that is what you call faith. Joel you are both of them and a child of God they raised you well. Off course the food look delicious. Another thing I see is the love your dad and mom have for each other and the love they have for you. Love how your mom said you inspired them and your siblings also.

    It’s starting to sound like the proverbial broken record but of all your videos this is probably my favourite yet. Your parents are so lovely and real charmers … and patient to a fault. Every time I see your Mom I think how much she reminds me of one of my camp counsellors and den mother when I was between 9 - 11 years old … the two could be sisters physically and spiritually. When you looked at your parents and asked them “why did you raise me this way” I had a good chuckle but then thought, hmm, that’s an opportunity I missed … I wish I could turn to my parents with that question. 😂😂 The meal looked and must’ve been amazing … I could’ve dived head first into that delicious pool of bhindi … yum. 😋😋 Thanks for sharing, and for sharing Mom & Dad with us. Wishing them journeying mercies. 🙏🙏🙏
