Here at Hope for Home, we know that our school will only be as strong as our teachers. I praise the Lord for giving Fairview Missionary School many teachers who truly love their students and who are eager to learn new ways to teach. Last week, our school in Denta Town closed for its summer break. School will resume in September. During the month of August, new teachers will be selected as a new grade level will be added to the school. All the teachers will be trained and they will meet to prepare for the 2022-2023 school year.

Hope for Home is committed to helping our teachers further their education. Last September, we entered into a partnership with a local college to begin hosting college level classes in Denta Town. This partnership enables our teachers to attend college while living deep in the bush. Believe it or not, the college sends teams of professors into the bush to train our teachers! This unbelievable luxury costs only $6,000 annually for 14 teachers. Thank you for making the gift of education FREE for both our students and our teachers! You are giving a very beautiful gift!

Please keep our students in your prayers. The demonic secret society is very active during school breaks. Last year, several of our students were initiated into this wicked society. Our mission is doing everything that we can do to help children choose to follow Jesus and to say no to Satan! Many Liberians are told that they will never be employed and will never get married unless they join the secret society. Most of Denta’s adults have already been initiated. It is the only life they know. Please pray that the Light of the Gospel will shine bright in Denta Town!

LIVE2540, one of Hope for Home’s mission partners, recently released this video testimony of Darryl Byle. Darryl lives on our base here in Liberia and is the lead engineer for the Jesus Loves Me Children’s Clinic project. I thought you would enjoy viewing their video and reading their article:

“At 61, engineer Darryl Byle felt God calling him from his busy work life in Montana to Liberia where he would be constructing a hospital for thousands of children in the interior, or “bush” as locals call it.

For over 20+ years Darryl has been running his own businesses, often having 2-3 different jobs going at the same time, until recently he felt God convicting him to “let go of the things of this world and to follow Him to Africa.”

After much conviction, Darryl took a trip to Africa with no intention other than to see what the Lord was already doing. After spending time with some of our mission partners in Bong County, Liberia, and hearing about the plans of building a clinic for some of the most vulnerable children in the world, he committed to becoming the lead engineer of the new 10,000-square-foot hospital build.

Darryl has spent most of this year on-site in Liberia leading a group of 50+ men. He’s not only teaching them new ways to build but he’s growing a relationship with each of them through morning devotionals and discipleship.

We’re getting excited to cut the ribbon at Jesus Loves Me Children’s Clinic! We’re hoping to start the early phases of operations by the end of the year. Darryl and the team are constructing a building that is meant to withstand the difficult Liberian climate and conditions for decades. Our mission at LIVE2540 is to keep this clinic operational for the children that need it most. If you wish to partner with us, that would be wonderful.
