…bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God… (from verse 10) Colossians 1:9-14

THE WORK CONTINUES
Greetings in the name of the God who continually works!!

We have just finished doing a 3-week tour of some of our friends in Missouri and Illinois.  We were blessed to be able to be in touch with as many as we did.  If we missed you, next time, by His grace! Be in touch to let us know.  In Liberia, the work continues…

WORK 1: THREE NEW CLASSROOMS NEEDED
Work has begun on one of the three needed classrooms for next year.  By His grace, funds have come in for the completion of 1 of the 3! We have a good start on the 2nd.  The cost of each classroom is $17,000 and the ideal timeline for their completion is August!  Thank you for helping make this work a real possibility!
One of three classrooms that need to be completed by July.  Getting the foundation and floor cast is now completed and funds are in place to finish this one. TWO MORE TO GO
WORK 2: AN OLD MAN’S WORK

Our staff is as varied and gifted as they come.  One of those is Mr. Kweh (affectionately called “Old Man Kweh”).  As we were able to share with some of you, Mr. Kweh is 87 years old and example of perseverance and commitment.   For over 4 years he has come every day to keep the grass cut around the school by swinging the “whipper” back and forth hundreds of times each day (see picture).  Admittedly, he is resting more and cutting less as he has added years, but he has become a source of encouragement for all who witness his consistency.  Keep praying for him and the rest of the staff!
Mr. Kweh works faithfully to keep the grass cut around the school.  He has worn out many whippers (the tool in his hand) in his years of service.  At 87 he is a strong example of humble, consistent service for the kingdom!
WORK 3: NEEDED SCHOOL SUPPLIES

One of the things that makes Fair Shake Village school unique is the supplies we use to challenge the children in learning.  We have put together a list of those supplies on Amazon if you would like to help with those.  Also, if anyone would like to help with shipping costs to get the items to Liberia, that would be a great help too.  In every way, Fair Shake Village school is gaining the reputation of providing a quality, Christian education.  We thank you for making that possible.  Here is the link if you wish to help with the supplies:
https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/GBUUGPVUTGUA
Please be sure to choose the registry address for shipping when you check out so it gets to us and not to your own address.

Doctors visits continue but so far we seem to be able to keep kicking with enthusiasm (perhaps not as high).  We keep on keeping on.  Thank you for your love and prayers.
Because of His great love!!
