Hope for Home, Liberia: Mission Update 1-19-18

Morris Town's Medical Clinic:

Recently, several students from the Bible Institute formed an evangelistic choir and traveled from town to town singing and preaching the Gospel. While singing in Morris town, a crowd gathered, the Gospel was presented, and seven people put their faith in Jesus.

Harrison and his wife, Mercy, started leading a weekly Bible study with these new believers. After a few weeks, the choir returned, visited nearby villages and encouraged new believers from those towns to join the study. The Bible study grew to 12 members. Recently, our medical team chose to lead a mobile clinic in Morris town to strengthen the young church.

Upon entering Morris Town, our medical team started setting up the clinic while Pastor Cyrus and Harrison walked from house to house inviting the sick to come for treatment. As people gathered, Cyrus presented the Gospel.

This kitchen was transformed into our registration center where medical charts were prepared and vitals were recorded.

This small shed was transformed into our medical clinic and pharmacy.

After registration, vitals were taken and every patient was prayed over.

While waiting to be seen by our Physician Assistants, Cyrus and Harrison met with each patient and made sure they understood the Gospel. Praise God, 22 people gave their lives to Jesus.

Once inside the clinic, every sickness was treated.

By the end of the day, we had treated 124 patients.

Each patient received free medication from our mobile pharmacy.

Please pray for Harrison and Mercy as they follow up on these new believers. This is a picture of Harrison and Mercy standing in front of their church house. I have been told their church has doubled in size since the clinic. Praise God!

I cannot overstate nor exaggerate the need for these medical clinics. For people who live in the bush, sickness is the way of life and demonic worship is prevalent. Through these clinics, both body and soul are being ministered to and God's church is being strengthened.

Baby Beatrice is an example of the lives that are being saved. When Beatrice was brought to the clinic, she was in critical condition, teetering between life and death.

We immediately transferred her to our local hospital where she stayed for one week before being released. I am sure Beatrice would no longer be with us had it not been for the clinic.

Believe it or not, the cost of Morris Town's clinic was only $190. The average cost per patient was $1.53. Beatrice's week at the hospital cost around $30. A little money goes a long way here in Liberia. Thank you for faithfully supporting our medical ministry!

His Safe Haven Village

Praise God, all 10 acres of our land have been cleared in preparation for the construction of His Safe Haven's special need's village. Soon, we hope to start construction on 7 group homes, a training center, a medical clinic, a community kitchen and a community dinning hall. More pictures will be coming soon.

Our family is temporarily expanding!

Annie, Abigail, and Abraham have been part of our child sponsorship program for the past three years. Though our mission provided food and support to their family, these children became malnourished while the adults in their family literally became fat. The adults were eating the children's food. After confronting this problem and seeing no progress we felt led to love these precious children back to health from within our own home. Annie, Abigail, and Abraham will be living with us for the next two months. Please pray with us for their health and that the Lord would make His will clearly known regarding their longterm care.

Sponsorship opportunities:

Gorman is in need of eye surgery. The cost of this surgery is $200.

James is in need of a hernia surgery. He has 8 children that he feeds and sends to school by cutting palm. Now, his pain is too great to cut palm. Today, James will have surgery. The cost of his surgery is $50.
