April – May, 2015 Ministry Report

Picture from April

Maryland Construction Project: The Maryland base construction project continues.  The walls should be finished for our residential building in a couple weeks.

Bong County:  The Bong County base has entered 2 schools with the Action Bible and several other schools have invited them to begin ministering.  This is one of our new weapons to reach Liberia with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  43.6% of Liberia’s population is under the age of 15.  While working toward a healthy church in every town and village, we will also begin working toward the vision of training children in every school. 

Grandmother Esther is now caring for her 7 orphaned granddaughters

Bong County:  Bong County was hit hard by the Ebola outbreak.  Many died, many orphans were left behind.  The Bong County team has discovered some of these orphans and is now giving emergency assistance to the families who have taken them in.  Pray with our team as they decide if we should assist long term.   

Mobile Workshops:  Another of our weapons to attack the stronghold of Satan in Liberia is mobile workshops.  Here are a few reports: 

Wordsower Bible Institute: Our Bible Institute was closed for almost a year because of the Ebola crisis.  We had our first class May 18-30.  For two weeks 20 students from 4 counties lived, worshiped and studied with us.  At the end of this level 1 training we prayed, laid hands and sent out 20 disciples with the mission of finding and training other disciples.  The last two weeks of June will be our Level 2 class.  

Prayer requests:  Pray that we will be able to acquire enough Action Bibles for the schools and youth of Liberia.  Pray as we decide how to assist these Ebola orphans.  Pray for a great revival to sweep through this country, pray that Liberia will have a healthy church in every village in our generation, and pray for our leaders who truly suffer for the Gospel.
