Clothing Drive for Liberia a Success! The items were delivered in person by mother and daughter Yvonne during their trip to Liberia in January 2024. In June of 2023 our church donated its piano to a church in Liberia.
We want to start by thanking everyone who contributed to the clothing drive for Liberia. Our trip was very successful as so many people benefited from your generous donations. Bibles and some coats were donated to His Presence International Ministries INC., a church located in Monrovia. Books, school bags and school materials were all donated to a school, Kids Care Academy, also in Monrovia. Baby and children’s clothing were donated to the Weala Community Clinic. Other beneficiaries were The Cross of Calvary Assemblies of God Church, as well as seven villages on the outskirts of Weala along the way to Beiken town which also benefited. All the Hymnals will be donated to a Lutheran church later.
