Mission Update: 8-22-21

GET TO KNOW YOUR SPONSORED CHILD’S CULTURE (PART 2)

Have you ever wondered what the inside of your sponsored child’s house looks like.  This video takes you on a tour of a typical Liberian home.  I hope this video helps you get to know your sponsored child’s culture better.  

Thank you for writing your sponsored child so many wonderful letters.  Please keep these letters coming.  God uses your letters to disciple your child through the Bible verses you share.  Your letters also help your child get to know you and your family better while learning about life outside of his or her bush town.  Your letters are a powerful ministry tool for your child. 

Thank you for helping us disciple, educate, feed and medically treat your sponsored child.

Mission Update: 8-15-21

 

Construction of Denta Town’s First School Building:

Perhaps the most exciting part of being a missionary is witnessing God do things that you know could never have been done unless He was involved.  There is a lot going on in our mission right now that has God’s fingerprints all over them.  I want to use the next several updates to get you caught up.  As I think about the construction of Denta Town’s first school building, I can’t help but smile and praise Jesus for His wonderful provisions! 

Our preschool classrooms will be large, bright and colorful.  Our students will be surrounded by books and things that make learning fun.  Most schools in Liberia have only a few textbooks.  Our students will not only have textbooks but they will also use thousands of pages of consumable curriculum as they color, cut and paste.  Our students will touch things like toys for the first time in their classrooms.  Toys are important for preschoolers because toys help children develop their imaginations and toys stimulate their learning.  We pray that our school will create wonder in the hearts of children while they learn about God and His created world!

I put this short video together so you can see the construction project.  The video also shows where our classes are currently meeting.  Our new preschool building will contain six large classrooms, a library, a school office and a medical clinic.  There will be a bathroom in each classroom for our young students.  Next year, we will begin building an elementary school.  I pray this video encourages you!  God is good!

Mission Update 8-7-21



Using Crayons, Scissors and Glue to Train Teachers

Get the crayons, scissors and glue out!  It’s teacher training time!  When our teachers were young, they did not have the privilege of attending schools that could afford basic school supplies such as crayons, scissors and glue.  Since our curriculum is hands on and uses these supplies multiple times a day, we spend a considerable amount of time helping our teachers learn to color, cut and paste.  Perhaps, you think this would be boring for our teachers.  Trust me, it is not.  They are just as fascinated with the crayons as our students are the first time they use them.  Thank you for sending these wonderful school supplies!  You make learning fun for our students (and our teachers)!
