What A Difference!

In a recent post, I commented on the events of our first week in Liberia.  Forasmuch as things can change in a week, the same holds true for a year.  We visited Liberia in February of 2012.  One of the needs at that time was reconstruction of the Bible school in Owensgrove.  I took photos at that time, noting burned out buildings and overgrowth of vegetation.  Thanks to partnership with the Liberia Assemblies of God, contributions from churches and individuals, just like you, and various AGWM ministries, such as Africa Tabernacle Evangelism, construction teams from the USA, and the oversight of resident missionaries, DeVane and Mary McGee, we now have a beautiful campus and students studying to become ministers of the gospel.
Sights as we entered the campus in 2012 compared to today:

After

When you think that your contributions to the work of missions around the world do not matter, reconsider the work in Liberia.  Because of the faithfulness of God and His people, these Bible school students now have a place to train for ministry.  What a difference, indeed!
