My Prayer — Love Liberia, Think Liberia and Build Liberia

View fullsize

If you don't work hard at making your vision work, someone will use you to build their vision. As we work at seeding the future with LEADLiberia there is a need to work our way to the top and to put people to work, so that they too can fulfill their God-given vision for sustainability. Our families, churches, communities, and nation will become a prosperous nation when we wisely invest our time, energy and resources in building a sustainable economy thru agriculture and other viable initiatives.

My prayer for a new Liberia is to work as a team in carrying our nation's pillar deep upon a new foundation whose builder is God and to develop a wholesome functioning society devoid of discriminatory principles. We have a nation like nonother, Beloved, though we have build fences based on our party loyalties but after elections, there will be no need for fences because it will be harvest time where we will all need to: Love Liberia, Think Liberia and Build Liberia.

A GREAT NATION, GREAT PEOPLE, PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR ALL.

The Vision — SEED to LEAD

View fullsize

A vision can never be realized by merely sitting down and dreaming that it would be, but you have to work at it.

SEED Farms is one of such, being developed as a sustainable integrated farm for training leaders ministry skills and life skills. We are convinced that the greatest gift you can give any group of people is the gift of helping them to help themselves. It is better to give a person seed they can plant and have a great harvest than a bag of rice, better to give them chicken they can raise and become suppliers than wait to be supplied. Join us to seed the future. I believe we can build a great nation by building the capacity of our people and provide opportunities for their contributions.

I believe we can together build a nation through hard work, dedication, and honesty.

Ministry Update — February, 2016

Greetings and hope the best as the New Year rolls on.

Our family is doing well so far despite health and other challenges that are pretty much part of being on the front line. However, we are graciously making it one day at a time as you pray and support (hold the rope). I thought it was important to share some major highlights with you on new developments and urgent prayer concerns.

In 2008, Samaritan Purse Liberia accepted to partner with us in our leadership development effort. Through this initiative we recruited and trained 72 key pastoral leaders for a year in Nimba and graduated 62. Of these about 90% are serving as pastors of new church plants, teachers and elders in over 30 churches in Garplay, Karnplay and Beo regions. As a result of this we remained engaged with SP until we started the SEED Farm project. They excepted our invitation to visit the farm last year. Accordingly they saw more than expected and have decided to again partner with us for a year.

We are targeting 45 pastoral leaders that would be trained both for Agriculture (vegetable, animal husbandry) and ministry. Praise God for this opportunity. They will also develop 5 acres of our swamp during this project year. However, to whom much is given much is expected. We are providing the space for the training as part of our contribution for the program.

Pray for along with us for these needs as we prepare for this program:

1. Safe drinking water for the farm

2. Committed Pastoral leaders for the program

3. Completion of the farmhouse to lodge 50 trainers and participants during training

4. Availability of Lead's vehicle to enhance the program (duty free/funds to pay duty)

5. Committed support staff for the program- coordinator and field technicians.

Thanks again for praying for us and standing with us.
