Greetings From TLP Children's Village

  Dear Friends, Family, Partners and Co – Workers; 

Greetings from Liberia; Another school year is here and we need your help. We are blessed to have a Christian school right on the campus of “The Lord’s Prayer” Children’s Village. All of the TLP children are taken care of for their schooling but right outside our door are thousands of children who do not have the privilege to be in school. I am calling out to many of you to be a blessing to one or more children this school year. The Lord’s Prayer children’s Village is located in a very poor neighborhood where many parents don’t have jobs (85% unemployment). This means the children usually remain at home and out of school and another generation is lost. 

Right now, TLP has over 120 applications from young people who are hoping for a chance to attend school through a scholarship. This past week was a tough one for me as I was interviewing the children who applied for scholarships. The stories are so sad to hear at times but I am hopeful that the Lord will make a way for us to help many of these children. I came across a girl during my interview this week and I want to share her story with you.

Five years ago when she was 17 years old, her father died as a result of food poisoning. Her mother is now a single mom caring for 8 children. Three years ago, she was promoted to the 10^th grade but since then she has been at home and not going to school. Her mother is too poor to educate any of the children. This girl said to me, “I really want to be educated but there is no way to continue my education as my mother is too poor to help us.  Many days when I sit down, I do miss my late father.” After these words, tears came down her beautiful face.  This is one of the children you can help to succeed in life – an education is everything.

In Christ,John Kpewoan

I would like to thank all of you that made my recent trip through Canada and the USA so successful and such a blessing. It is so wonderful to come back to North America and be so warmly welcomed and cared for. Many people gave me a bed and plenty of great meals. People lent me their vehicle and gave thier time to get me to all the places I needed to visit. There were so many Pastors and their churches that uplifted my spirit and encouraged me to continue on with the work before us. I thank God for each one of you.

There were so many encouraging results. We raised all the money needed to drill the well and this will be completed in the next few days and what a blessing that will be. We are now going to start the expansions to the boys and girls houses to give them a famiy room space where they can play and study. We will send you pictures soon on all of this so check back here on the website often.

 Continue to pray for us. Continue to remember us in your giving. There is so much more to do. There are so many more children that need our help. My wife and I along with our large family are always praying for you. May God bless you in every area of your life.

In His Service
