Matt Storer (President) and Scott Couch (Director of Project Management Services) will be traveling to Liberia next week. VisionTrust is currently developing 4 schools at the moment in Liberia, reaching over 700 preschoolers and students with the gospel, regular Bible teaching, education and health. They fly out of the USA on Sept 13, Tuesday and return home on Sept 22, Thursday.
Please pray for the following as their schedule is super full:
1 - Taking 500 backpacks, 2 truck shocks, office supplies and VisionTrust sponsorship materials among other things. Please PRAY that all of the luggage makes it and we don’t have any issues getting through Liberian Customs.
2 – Meeting with ELWA (SIM ministry) asking them if we can take over the operations of their Guest House. It continues to be an issue to house (me) our guests and the place is currently a dump and poorly managed. PRAY that they give us favor to do this. It is a long-shot.
3 – Meeting with Water of Life (well drilling ministry) to build partnership in Liberia to encourage them to drill wells and manage them at our 4 project locations. Pray for quality, heart-felt partnership.
4 – Submitting building plans for a new 17,000sf school building to the Ministry of Planning for approval. This school needs to be get started ASAP. We have almost 500 children attending in the old place. The new place will support up to 900 students, using 2 shifts per day. PRAY for government favor to approve plans quickly and without bribes. We will also be interviewing/hiring a Liberian construction manager and begin materials acquisition. PRAY for a quality person, we will need discernment!
5 - I will personal be life-coaching Robert Sondah, our Director of VisionTrust Liberia to help him manage and develop all areas of his life. Please PRAY that God gives us both wisdom and understanding and the discipline we need to make improvements/changes. Robert is doing a great job…
6 – Evaluating progress on school #3 and #4. Both of these are in early development stages.
The list is longer, but these are the biggies ;-)
