As EMAUSA, our commitment remains the same:
Will you help us keep this work moving? As we approach the end of the year, your generosity is what allows us to say “yes” to the next phase of these projects—finishing the Trinity Guesthouse bathrooms, completing tiling and repairs, and preparing spaces that will bless missionaries, patients, and local families for years to come. Would you consider a special year-end gift to support ongoing renovations at ELWA? Your gift—of any size—helps us continue building and renewing spaces where the gospel is shared, disciples are made, and people experience the love of Christ in tangible ways. Thank you for your prayers, your generosity, and your partnership. Together, we’re building spaces that will bless countless lives in Liberia. Serving with you, Steve Ackley EMA President Garland, Texas +1(214) 536-5458 cell/WhatsApp [email protected] From Steve Ackley, EMA Board President.... “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” Psalm 127:1 Dear Friends, In mid-October, David Frazee and I will travel to Liberia to work alongside our partners in Liberia. This trip will focus on a significant renovation of the Trinity Guest House, one of the most critical facilities on the campus for visiting missionaries. Trinity Guest House Renovation The Trinity Guest House was originally a four-bedroom home with two bathrooms. Two bathrooms are now being added so each guest room has its own private bathroom, significantly improving comfort and privacy for missionaries and guests. To make most efficient use of space, the new bathrooms are being constructed in an area that was previously used as a porch. The project is led by myself, David Frazee, and Gino Pini, along with a Liberian team of skilled masons, plumbers, and electricians. Work is already underway:
Staff House Floor and Ceiling Tiles One of the ELWA Staff houses (J-09b, previously the CMA Guesthouse) needs new floor and ceiling tiles. This is the second project we’ll be working on. Prayer Requests for this Trip
Serving with you, Steve Ackley EMA “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.”
— Psalm 92:1–2 Back in April, we shared an urgent need for housing renovations and critical work on the ELWA powerhouse. We are thrilled to report that God is providing in amazing ways:
What’s Next
 The trip last week to Robinson, IL, with John Schindler was wonderful.
We ate Liberian food and enjoyed a fantastic time of fellowship with his cousins. What’s going on at ELWA, and how can you help? EMA equips ministries to carry out the Great Commission, making disciples. We do this by supporting four critical ministries at ELWA.
From EMA's President, Steve Ackley This week I’ll be in Indiana with my good friend John Schindler, visiting his cousins. John’s dad, Dr. Bob, founded ELWA Hospital, and my dad served as its administrator. Back then, we “ELWA boys” played every sport imaginable and a few you probably couldn’t imagine! Those memories remind me of what a special place ELWA has always been. But today, things at ELWA look very different in a word: crisis. ELWA Hospital remains a healthcare anchor in Liberia, yet its fragility and dependence on donor support are painfully clear. Without steady funding, critical services collapse, impacting children, expectant mothers, and the most vulnerable. Current Areas of Concern Over $5,000 in care is written off or discounted each month. Only about 45% of inpatients can fully pay their bills; the rest leave with unpaid balances. Cash flow shortages directly limit the purchase of essential supplies, including: Medical supplies Kitchen supplies Pharmaceuticals Environmental health needs Utilities (power) Malnutrition feeding program supplies Pediatric care items And that’s just a sample of the long list of urgent needs. Would you join us in prayer for God’s provision and lasting solutions for ELWA Hospital? Many of you have been touched by ELWA over the years. We’d love to hear your stories and encouragement as we walk through this together. With gratitude, Steve |
