​An ELWA Academy Scholarships Story

It's about that time of year. Back to school we go!

Meet Melvin Johnson (pictured here with EMA Board Member Steve Ackley). Melvin just had his last "first day of school" and has one more year left of college! He plans to graduate with a Bachelors in Economics from Stella Mara University next August. His passion is business administration, and he hopes to continue his education by pursuing an MBA in the U.K. or U.S. 

Before attending college, Melvin received a Christ-centered education at ELWA Academy and benefited from our scholarship program. ELWA Academy provides quality education for families involved in full-time Christian ministry and kids in the community around ELWA.

We are thrilled about the future ahead of Melvin. He recently completed an internship with Change Agent Network (CAN) in 2020-2021, focusing on accounting transactions, bank deposits, and other tasks. His coworkers and supervisor speak very highly of his service. 

Melvin lives and breathes Liberia. His ultimate goal with his education is to give back to his country. Melvin represents one of many kids at ELWA Academy and college students who would benefit from our scholarship program. 

🏀Exciting update on the Basketball Court Project:

All funds have been raised for the construction of the court and operation of the Youth Discipleship Ministry in 2024! Thank you for your generous support!

The team led by Chad Winsor will be in Liberia from October 6-20 to complete the project, please pray for safe travel and a successful project.   

Please pray that East International (the road construction company) will help us with compacting the field after the tractor work is finished.
