Missionaries
The true character of ministry is a servants heart
Welcome
I pastored a small church in Venice for 14 years. During that time, I would take short mission trips around the world. It was during this time that God began to give me a burden for missions beyond our personal financial support of missionaries. In 2013 God called us to full-time missions to Liberia, West Africa.
Liberia is an extremely poor country where people struggle from day to day just to get food. The educational system there is terrible. There are sometimes more than 50 in a classroom; they often must share a seat, and they have no textbooks. They learn by copying everything from the chalkboard into a composition notebook. Often, the teacher doesn’t even show up. That is why we want to start Christian schools along with starting churches.
Liberia is a deeply religious country with every kind of religious group. This allows us to share the Gospel with great freedom. However, because they are so religious, they think they already are going to heaven, not realizing they are lost in their sin.
I have started a Bible College in Liberia where we can train people for ministry. We have between 45-50 students regularly. Our youngest student is 28 and we have three over 70. The average age is 46.
Brenda has more than 30 years of experience teaching in Christian schools. Little did she know that God would use her on the mission field to the extent that he has.
Brenda has a class to train people for Children’s ministry. Most of the churches have no ministry for the children and no materials at all. She provides materials and trains them on how to use them. It is a wonderful ministry.
We are blessed to use our years of experience to share the Gospel, train nationals, plant churches, provide needed materials, and give direction to the pastors of Liberia.
