Prayer Needs
Seeing Fruit in Evangelism
“We have an annual mission, when students are involved in evangelism, training and serving in a deprived rural community. They minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the people.“Last December, thirty missionaries spent a week in the predominantly Muslim area of Sinje, Grand Capemount County. Through door-to-door evangelism and the showing of the Jesus film, one hundred and sixty people professed faith in Christ as their Lord. They are being following up by the two evangelical churches in the area.
“We are working to extend our ministry into rural Liberia. Associate staffworker, Eric Doe, moved to Gbarnga, Central Liberia, last year and is working to restart the group at a private college, and establish one at a nursing school. He also serves the high schools and churches in the area. We are trusting God for finance and resources to employ Eric as a full-time staffmember.”

Stories
A life spent for the cause of the gospel
Dec 5, 2005
There is just no other explanation for how he served in LIFES. He literarily persevered under adverse circumstances for the sake of the gospel. Through hunger, thirst and the war that ravaged the nation, John kept going. In good health and in poor health, John kept giving himself, often preferring to do by himself what he could have delegated to others. When he had the opportunity to flee the country some years ago and never return, he chose not to. During his exile in Ghana, rather than live elsewhere, he chose to stay in the refugee camp to continue his ministry. From his refugee status in Ghana, John could easily have moved on to another country with greener pastures, but he chose to return to Liberia to continue rebuilding the movement.
In this way John spent, and was spent, for the cause of student ministry in Liberia. Our prayer is that John’s life and ministry would continue to bear fruit in a vibrant student ministry that impacts the church and society not only in Liberia but wherever John’s name is mentioned. May God comfort John’s family, the LIFES family and may he raise up more people to keep the vision and mission of LIFES alive.
