July 2008 mission trip

Posted 6/23/2008

Hello,

July 3rd will bring Children Concerned back to Liberia, one year since our last time on country. Our mission is similar to last, as we will be going into villages and doing home construction. This year we will be working in Jacobs Town, the area of Our House. We will be working with the boys in furthering their hands on training skills, as we work together to transform the poor shacks and huts into livable homes for families. We will be meeting up with local missionaries to work in prison and street ministry, and will visit several orphanage homes caring for the needs of the children through construction and repairs to the home, and also simply spending time with the children and being a friend and companion to those who may have never experienced a mothers or fathers love.

We will be taking new schooling materials to the boys of Our House, as many of them are progressing in their studies and ready for advancing. We plan on assessing the needs and condition of the home and improving as we can with Director Bestman and the Children Concerned board in Liberia. The boys are doing well and are in good health after recent sickness from the turn of season from dry to rainy, and they have all just been to the doctors for malaria vaccinations and check-ups.

Please keep us in prayer for our safety and ability in our goals, and for Our House and all the boys, for their continual learning and growing. If you have a letter or small package for one of the boys, please send to:
