April 2024 Mission
Backpacks for Liberia
It’s time again to prepare for the Hands-On Conference Mission Project—backpacks for our
United Methodist schools in Liberia. Most of you have learned over the years how much these
children need our support to get an education in a country with insufficient resources to provide
it for them.
The United Methodist Church in Liberia operates schools including a university, seven senior
high schools, nine junior high schools, and 21 elementary schools. The church also provides subsidies for 80
other schools operated by local United Methodist congregations. We have long supported
the J.J. Roberts school in Monrovia.
Can you help supply a backpack for the children there? The Mission and Outreach Committee
will buy the bags and supplies in bulk for 50 bags. The Youth will pack the bags, and we will send them on to conference.
Each backpack will cost around $25. Anything you can contribute will be welcome and greatly appreciated there.
