Dear Prayer Partners and Supporters,
The devil continues to hit us hard through robbery and death during this time of economic hardship in Liberia. Upon our arrival from our soul winning trip up country, we met our central church broken into and robbers made away with our generator, large speaker and amplifier. This all happen when we are expecting a semi-annual Bible Training Conference of all pastors and teachers in September, 2019.
Tragically, I lost my father who had come from up country to attend a funeral service of a relative. He is embalmed for one month, and funeral service will be on the 12th of September, 2019 up country. All preparation is being made to move the body up country by the 11th of September, 2019. The roads are bad but the elders in the village insist that we carry the body and have the funeral in his home town.
He was a member of the Philadelphia Baptist Church in our village. I am shouldering 50% of the cost since I am the elder son. These are my obligations:
Casket………………………………………………… $ 400
Vehicle to carry the body…………………… $ 200
Embalmment (one month)………………….. $ 500
Thanks,
