Our organic garden projects continue to yield produce.Husbandry is growing. More pigs, chickens, goats and sheep than ever this year.“Walk a Mile in My Shoes Steinbach”, raised over $ 15,500 for Education towards our $ 55,000 annual Education costs.All 4 of Our Children’s Homes were able to get Clothes for Christmas as well as special food to eat. The children are always “so” grateful!!
Most of all I want to say thank you to all our friends who have donated so generously towards our work in Liberia. You are the reason we continue to grow. Because of your help we are able to take in more and more children and see CHILDREN AT RISK BECOME CHILDREN OF CHANGE! Because of your help we can continue to give RICE TO OUR WIDOWS and TAKE THE SICK to the hospital.
From our family to yours we wish you a YEAR FILLED WITH LOVE, PEACE AND JOY!!
God bless you as we step into 2017, expecting GOOD THINGS!!
Dear Karen, What a joy to see all that God worked to make happen through you and your partners. Dr. Chris Hena was marvelously blessed to receive so much great medical stuff from you in March. We have finished building the new clinic. Now we are trying to raise annual support to operate it. We are planning to open it in June. God really blessed our efforts. We paid for the building as we went along, so we have no debt. The clinic in Kakata is 10,000 sq. ft and even three overnight rooms for patients too sick to walk back to their village. When we open it will have a pharmacy, an ultrasound, an operating room, three exam rooms, a lab, and the overnights I mentioned. We build a triage building outside the gate so that each patient can be examined for Ebola before entering the grounds. Praise God for the Ebola vaccine, now available when needed.
