2 Schools - 400 Children And by God’s Grace a Limitless Future!

A Report From Bill Davidson

THE TARPEH ACADEMY

Re-named for our colleague Pastor Washington Tarpeh who was killed by a freak accident in 2023, Rise Liberia (RL) built this two-story school where over 300 students prepare for Liberia’s  future.  

For many years Rise Liberia has sponsored students and supported the faculty both financially and through Teacher Training. In a nation where jobs are rare, business skills training has resulted in soap-making and bakery projects.

THE FRANK TOWN ACADEMY

School

Last year we purchased acreage in Frank Town, a village lying an hour away from Monrovia, Liberia’s crowded capital, but the journey makes it feel like another world. Frank Town children have never before attended school. Now 90 students proudly cram into our small facility in the village.  Our next step is to begin the daunting task of building a campus to house living quarters for our faculty,  buildings for Middle and High School, a facility for a new church and teacher training for the region.

Your Invitation to Develop The Frank Town Campus

Construction of our first faculty house has already begun. Until now our long-time RL Coordinator and School Superintendent has occupied one room in a two-room apartment,. Faculty members and their children live in the second room. ‘A Home for Barwea’ is our first priority followed closely by the urgent need for the classrooms of the Middle School.

NOVEMBER 2024 - BUILDING TEAM

Liberians are hard workers, but the productivity of an American building team can give a tremendous boost to our campus project.  It’s expensive to travel to Liberia - around $1,500 per person - but the experience is life changing.  So, you ask, why not just send that money to Liberia?  Good point… that is until you see for yourself the blessing and encouragement our Liberian families get from seeing visiting servant-teams arrive - and that blessing flows both ways, to locals and teams alike.

Take a look at our video reports @ riseliberia.org then pray about your involvement
either as a team member, or a financial supporter.

IT’S ALL ABOUT WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED FOR THE WONDERFUL CHILDREN OF LIBERIA
