Consider
Liberia
. A beautiful coastal country in West Africa. In the midst of its rolling plains and majestic wildlife there are 1.8 million people who do not have access to clean water - 1.8 million people. That is the population of the metropolitan area of San Antonio, Texas! Imagine an entire American city with access only to disease- infested water. It’s unimaginable! Yet, 1.8 million people wake up every day in Liberia without access to clean drinking water.
Why Liberia? Good question! Bottom line - Liberia meets all the essential requirements for this
world-changing mission:
It’s on the continent of Africa - We want to reach the neediest of the needy first. The need is so great in Africa and we want to stop the death and suffering there now in Christ’s name.
-
Africa is in the news - Big business, governments, Hollywood, and NGO’s are focused on Africa. We believe that God will leverage what He will accomplish in Liberia to bring clean water to other nations in great need.
-
The ending date - With God’s direction and involvement, clean water can be provided to all of Liberia in less than five years! As we have shared this vision with young adults around America, they all say that they want to be a part of something that shows God’s grandeur and His ability to accomplish a task that is bigger than men can accomplish on their own.
-
Geography - Liberia is a coastal country with very few topographical and geographical obstacles or limitations. In other words, the structure of the ground is such that we can dig wells with relatively few limitations. This allows us to move quickly and maximize our efforts.
-
Politics - Liberia, although the country has many political challenges, affords us a relatively calm political climate. Political upheaval creates many of the challenges to providing clean water to other African countries.
Our efforts in Liberia run under the banner -
The Last Well: Liberia.
