Many
children between the ages of 2 and 16 have known nothing
but war. They’ve never been to school.
Psychological and literal scars abound. Unemployment
is running somewhere around eighty percent.
Checkpoints
and machine guns are plentiful. No electricity. No running
water. Hunger is common. Political instability remains.
There is a desperation that is hard to communicate. Words
can’t really describe it. Yet we know that God
is working in Liberia.
Needs from Liberia received at the Leadership Conference
held at 1st Baptist Church
Oldest Congo Town on October 2,
2004.

God impress you to meet any of these needs, please contact us

Please contact us if you’re interested
in supporting this orphanage, this is the project that prompted
my desire to go to Liberia, it is very special. Mrs Davies, the
founder of the orphanage, died during the war. For a few years
the orphanage was run by three teenage girls, because of the
war there was no one to help them. The First Baptist Church:
Pastor Johnson, Pastor Koffa, Mrs. Taylor, and Mrs Serena helped
them when they could during the war and are now a daily source
of support and assistance. One of Pastor Johnson’s adopted
sons visits the orphanage daily and teaches the children the
Bible and songs. Please pray about this, even if you can’t
support it financially. It needs our prayers. The Children need
clothing, food, and shelter. Pray!
