ABOUT ME:
I direct two schools of 450-500 preschool through high school children in Liberia, Africa in communities where families struggle to survive and provide for their daily needs. Many cannot afford to send their children to school, and the quality of education is poor or even corrupt. Malnutrition, disease, abuse, crime, corruption, and drugs are some of the challenges our children face. We built schools in these communities so children can get a quality education and experience the love and hope of Jesus. We help each child learn the academic and life skills they need to navigate life in Liberia and encourage them in their faith and relationship with God so they can positively impact and transform their homes and communities.
HOW TO PRAY:
- May God grant wisdom, strength, and unity for the 65 teachers and staff.
- For the children and families during this time of severe economic hardship in Liberia.
- For protection and safety of the students and that they grow strong in their relationship with God
