Liberian

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2)

Perhaps the greatest need is in the area of people. We have a need for Liberians and for Americans in order for this ministry to reach its full potential.

Liberia-

Administrators are needed to properly manage the business aspects of the ministry. Much like the new testament church in Acts Chapter 6:

³ Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. ⁴ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

we find ourselves with Shadrach performing the administrative tasks of the ministry which interferes with his ability to minister to the people of the village. Pray that God will supply some men of “honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business”.

Spiritual leaders will be needed for the other children’s villages as they are started. What a blessing to have a man with Shadrach’s love and commitment. How many people would leave the benefits of the United States and return with his wife and young child to a country without adequate housing, electricity, food and healthcare. Pray that God will raise up men of commitment all over Liberia to become the next “Shadrach’s” in their village.

United States-

Businessmen willing to spend the time in Monrovia to set up a system of accountability for the finances which will enable the ministry to show proper stewardship for all that God gives us. These people would also transfer to Liberian administrators the knowledge necessary to determine the most efficient and effective way to operate the businesses which the ministry operates. This task could be performed by retired individuals with the appropriate experience. Given the difficulties or travel and living conditions, persons going to Liberia should be in good health.

Persons with experience with overseas shipping, transfer of funds between U.S. and African banks (we currently pay fees of 4-7% for all funds sent), power production, connections with the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company (they have a large operation in Liberia) and many other fields are requested to join us. We need your help.

A person skilled in construction management is needed to train the local ministry personnel in the proper way to plan, conduct and track construction projects. This person would need to spend a month or more in the Children’s Village in order to oversee and train their personnel during an actual construction project.

Sawmill operator to determine the viability of operating a portable sawmill for the production of lumber. Selection of the proper equipment as well as travel to Liberia to setup and train its users would be required.

Medical trainers and those with connections within the pharmaceutical industry are needed to provide annual training to the clinical staff and to secure free drugs for use in the clinic. Optometrists, dentists and medical physicians are all needed for diagnosis and training.

A refrigeration expert to determine the best way to expand the ice making business currently using ten Kenmore freezer units.

People who will take on the financial development (capital gift acquisition) aspect of the ministry are needed. These people would have the time and connections to contact and promote the ministry amount individuals and organizations able to make significant financial contributions to the ministry. Coordination among multiple individuals and groups to accomplish a selected capital need would also be beneficial.

People with IDEAS are always welcome. Jesus instructed us to be “wise as serpents” and we need people with experience in a wide range of fields. The opportunities in Liberia are endless and people of vision and experience are needed to take advantage of them.
