What We're Doing

​A Missionary Housing Story

7/1/2023

Meet the McKnight Family

This month, we would like to introduce you to Gary & Elizabeth McKnight. Did you know the African church is the largest growing church in the world? However, there is a severe shortage of trained pastors. This is where the McKnights come in. 

Gary and Elizabeth move to Liberia this August to serve at ESWA (Evangelical Seminary of West Africa). They will live on the ELWA compound, in the old Schindler house, which was just remodeled. 

Gary & Elizabeth are eager and passionate to train pastors at the seminary. Not only that, they hope to use their home to strengthen relationships with the ESWA students. They look forward to times of meaningful conversations, meals, and fellowship in their new home. 

We are thankful to provide housing for families like the McKnights. So we launched our "Missionary Housing" campaign. Our goal is to raise $40,000 to support and care for more families like the McKnights. Also, we have some exciting news! Any financial gift given to our "Missionary Housing Campaign" will be a MATCHED donation.

If you would like to support more missionaries like the McKnights with missionary housing, please click "Give Now" button below. You can give one-time or recurring. 
Basketball Court & Youth Discipleship Update
​
We are excited to share the "Basketball Court & Youth Discipleship" fundraising campaign is now underway! Meanu Kayea, who grew up on the ELWA compound and who's dad was an integral part of ELWA, has a passion for sports ministry and building a new basketball court, as an outreach to the community.

In June, we met with contractors, scoped out locations, and researched available supplies. We plan to build one regulation-size court with 6 hoops that will accommodate two 75% basketball courts! Our current plan is to have the courts ready to use this year. We are excited about the impact of this ministry for the youth of Liberia.
