Shadrachs email
from April and May 2005 Things are going very fine here
with the school construction. They have completed the foundation and they are
ready now to do the filling in of the foundation, but they are saying that
before they can start they will need all of the plumbing materials because it
have to be under ground. We have more blocks on hand now for the elevation of
the walls. The total cost for the plumbing materials is $3,500.00 USD. We are also appealing for you
all to help us transport the reminding 500 begs of Cement from All of the school students are
helping us to gather some later rocks for the all of the pillars, so we will
not have to pay for the rocks. Yes all
of the students and their parents are very happy about their children school.
This pass Monday we had a meeting with the D.E.O, and he was very impress
with our progress so far with the school building. We thank God for that. What every you send should go
through Skipper in Thanks, God bless. Shadrach 1. Church To day is 2. School
Construction is going very well. The construction team promises to start the
walls by this week as long we can gather more rocks for the pillar. Pray that
by the end of this month one section of the school will be completed. We have
enough blocks now on the ground. Our only problems are sand and crush rocks.
The truck is doing wonderfully well. I know that the truck will want to do
more but we have to take time with it before it gives up completely. There
are lots that we want to do but it is not what it used to be. There is some plan I want you all to know about. There are some trucks here in Greenville that they are using for sand, we can ask them to get us sand so we can sent our truck to Monrovia for make some money for us than getting us sand now with the road not good. We can put it under WFP were at the end of the month we can get some money to help with the salaries. Here they will charge about $175 US for each trip, if we can just get 10 good loads of sand it will carry us a long way that we will have use our truck, may-be even to the completion Thanks, Shadrach How is everything? I am here in Sinoe,
and things are going very, very fine with the School, Clinic, Church and the
School Construction. I am very much encouraged with the way things are happening
here with the Ministry. Shadrach It is with pleasure and courage
to E-mail you this note. I thank you so much for your many, many sacrifices
for the people of I also want to use this time to
extend our thanks and appreciation through you for the Church that donated
the van to the Liberia Ministry. Please tell them how much we appreciate
their generous gift for the work of God. We prayed that God will continue to
bless them in their work for the I am on my way now to Sinoe, Pray for us for a safe trip. God bless Shadrach. We thank God for all His many blessing. As for the
generator, it is working very fine now for about a week and we have started
the water/ice sell. All we are doing now is to get back all our customers who
left when the generator went down. Thank God that for our Saturday and today
selling, we have a great number of buyers. The construction work is going very fine. All they are
doing now is molding more blocks for the elevation of the building. Well, sir the last time we had a talk with you and Bro.
Carl concerning my Wife and I. Things have not been
that easy on us financially. I am very careful not use any of money sent for
the Ministry for our personal use. I believe that what ever you people will give to give us
on a monthly basis will be sincerely appreciated. Even sometimes I can not
afford to buy some things for my wife or Kenyette.
I am sometimes ashamed that I am not able to meet their needs. But thank God
that she understands that we dont have it. I will be going to Sinoe by this
weekend. Please I want you people to also consider the business in Sinoe, because it will help the Ministry and also be a
help to the local people. Thanks God bless. Shadrach I have finally concluded a
meeting with about 8 Teachers (all are BSC, AA, degree holders) that include
an agriculturalist that is going to do the rice, cassava, pepper, egg plant,
animal husbandry and etc. for the Ministry. With this the Ministry will
produce her own food other then rice. Also
among them is one of the best Geography Teachers in the Country. Also
including them is Rev Harrington Wesseh and his
wife. Now with all these qualified Teacher our School will be one of best in
the whole County, praise the Lord. Please let us pray that God
will help us meet our monthly budget so that we can keep all our employees.
Thank God that the Generator has been working now for three nights entering
tonight. Please look at the information that I e-mail you people the last time about the Ministrys proposed plan (Short and long range plan). To help us meet these needs monthly we need to open the shop in Sinoe and a welding shop. I believe that with this we can do more that we do not have to call to you people all the time. Please e-mail me to let me know as we are committing our self to these Teachers, they are very important to the Ministry. All we need is your commitment that we will be able open the shop and the welding shop as soon as possible because this budget will come into effect by June. Please we need this business in Sinoe, it will help more drivers with the stress of mechanical and mostly tires problem. This shop will really be a help for all those traveling to and from Sinoe, knowing that there is hope ahead of them if there are any problems. Shadrach I
am so thankful to God for my life. The devil thinks he is able to stop the
work of God but he is a defected worrier (Isaiah 54:7). The news from Sinoe is that the truck is doing well with getting more
sand, praise the Lord for providing the money for the springs and the key
starter. The foundation is now completed and they are molding the blocks for
the elevation of the building. It is our prayer that by the grace of God we
will be able to use it for the next school year (September). Both of the buses are running well, is only
that we are using the blue bus for Sinoe now that
the jeep is gone. We pray that God will provide a vehicle that is made for
that kind of road. This will make things easier for us and also help with the
Clinic in case there is a patient who needs greater medical care so that the
ministry can transport them to the big hospital for treatment. Well,
I have talk to lots of people who are welling to work in the garage as soon
as we get it started. Our only problem here is how to come up with this month
(April) salary ($2,850.00)? We need to pay our employees by the end of this
month. All we have lifted now from one of the buses is just $8,250.00 LD
($200). The
only thing we have working now is the green bus, we are using the other for
trips to Sinoe. The truck is doing well with the
construction by getting sand for the work. The generator has only worked for
two days and started to over heat, but it has already being taking care of
and we will be getting it back by this Wednesday by the grace of God. I pray
that things are going to get better by the grace of God, so that we can take
care of all our salary for the next month salary (June). As soon as the month
comes to an end I will sent you accountability sheet that you left here for
our record. We
are at the point like Isaac when he asked his father Abraham in the book of
Genesis Chapter 22:7-8 behold the fire and the wood but where is the lamb
for the burnt offering? We have the employees that we need to do all the good
work that is going on in Sinoe (School, Clinic, Orphanage
and many more). The past two months were very tough for the Ministry here in I
believe that to succeed in any thing you need to go through some problems as
long it is of God. I know that having a ministry in Karmos
Two to train pastors and spread the Good News of Christ is not going to
please the devil so he is going to do all he can to stop the work of God, but
praise the Lord that He has won the victory and all we have to do is to be
willing and faithful to His calling (Habakkuk 2:1-4). Thanks
for your many, many blessing for the Liberia Ministry. It is only God that
will reward you for every thing. God
bless. Shadrach. Below are some short and long
range plans for the Liberia Ministry by the grace of God before this year
come to an end. This is outside of the ministry construction in Sinoe. It is our prayer that we should
be able to help out here in many ways we can to help with some of our
emergency needs here for the ministry. Because, we want that whatever we
received from you people must go directly to the building of the Ministry. There
are lot of things that we can do here to help raised more money for the
Ministry. We are also praying for the pastoral
and layman training that we are going to open, by the grace of God, in June.
We pray that more of the pastors and their staff will come at least three
times a month. We will need to feed and find a place for them to sleep. Rev. Wesseh has agreed to move to Sinoe
for us to work together with the local Churches. I will be going to Sinoe
to start sending out the letters so that I will first of all have a meeting
with them so that we can select the days of the week that they will be able
to meet for the training. With this now, Skipper is the one that is going to
