Dear Friends,

Our first annual auction was a success! We raised $4100!

Also the company that agreed to match anything we raised up to $7000 has given us up to the end of October to reach that goal. That means any funds you contribute up to that time is doubled! This would take us a long way toward a good start on our long dreamed of youth camp.

As many of you know I teach public school children the Bible once a week. These are mostly unchurched kids. It is the same with youth camps, many or even most are not familiar with our Biblical heritage.

Because of family circumstances many literally have no moral code at all. The look in the eyes of those children when they understand how much God loves them and that they are not an accident on this earth drives me.

William ( Frog ) our director, and myself were hugely influenced by youth camps. All these were lost during the war in Liberia. In my case after straying for years I am convinced that this early influence helped bring me back to the truth.

I have postponed telling the results of the auction because of our trip this Saturday. I wanted the prayer partners of this ministry reminded to pray for us while in Africa. We will be leaving the 15th and

returning the 27th of this month.

Karen and I will be traveling with two fellows from our church. They will be training our pastors while there. We will also be dedicating the newly constructed Karen school. Frog and I are always busy catching up on all the projects we're involved in. Of course we will send time at the Old Folks Home and I plan on stopping at the blind community to see how they are doing.

Please pray for Liberia, we have heard several reports that the country is really short of rice.

That is worse than a shortage of bread here as rice is eaten with literally every meal. Our latest shipment is almost all food. It should arrive in November. We look forward to taking lots of videos and pictures for our website and Facebook page. If you ever have thought of contributing to our work now is the perfect time as it is doubled!
