DRY SEASON – BACK TO WORK ON GATHERING CENTER

With the delays last year, getting the second story of the gathering center under roof was not possible because of rainy season.  Now that dry season is returning, work will begin on the gathering center within the next week!!! Funding for getting it under roof is in place (see May prayer letter), so the funding needed now is for the final phase of the gathering center (plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, floors, ceiling, solar and painting).  Thanks to designated giving, we have over 50% of the amount needed for this in place!!!  Thanks be to God! If you are led to share in the completion of this project, you may use the Giving Partner link and select the “FSV Building Fund” in the gift designation drop down.

We are grateful that For The Lamb (Jesse and Jessica Philips) is returning to finish the block molding for the gathering center and a future project.
Second story waiting for walls and roof. Dry season is here!!  Time to get her done!
NEW WEBSITE

Please check out our new website at: https://fairshakevillage.org.  You will find several updates. Not only is there a way to make a donation, but also a way to engage more fully as a prayer partner or to check out and apply for opportunities to serve on short term and longer term ministries.
OUR RETURN TO LIBERIA
 
Ken’s follow-up visit to the doctor is this week.  Please pray for good results.  Our plans are to return to Liberia very early in January.  As the Gathering Center gets completed, our opportunities for growing relationships will become more focused at Fair Shake Village.  We are so blessed to continue to serve in this way!!
SHORT TERM SERVANTS

During the course of this coming year, we are expecting a few individuals to come for short term ministry.  Some will be coming in January and others in August. Is this something God is placing on your heart?  We would love to hear from you.

PASTORS REQUEST STUDY BIBLES

As I visit with Pastors in Liberia, one request keeps coming up:  “I want a good study Bible.”  Is this something with which you could help? Perhaps you have a good one you are no longer using.  You could send it/them to the Desoto, MO mission address (below).  Perhaps you would be interested in donating towards this.  Prices for these bibles are all over the board depending on binding, print size, etc.  Any donation given for this will be used to purchase the most usable product for Liberia.  If you have other ideas in obtaining these, please be in touch.
OUR MAN ON THE GROUND, DANIEL BIAH AND OUR CONTRACTOR, ALEX WILLIAMS

Please be sure to keep praying for Daniel as he lines up the rest of the materials for the Gathering Center, prepares for our return and continues his usual tasks in Liberia.  We would get so little accomplished without him and he needs His strength for all the tasks at hand.  Thank you!!

Alex continues to work to bring the Gathering Center to completion.  Finding cost effective ways of doing good construction in Liberia is a real challenge.  Please pray for his wisdom and strength.
Daniel, left, has been an ongoing blessing and leader in the work in Buchanan and Fair Shake Village.  Alex, right, is invested to getting the construction at Fair Shake Village accomplished.
As we focus at this time of year on His great gifts to us and His desire for us to be near to Him, let us reflect His character to all those He places in our life to His glory.  Thank you for all you do!!
