Your Support is Reshaping Ministry Spaces in Liberia

Dear friends,
This October, I had the privilege of traveling back to Liberia with fellow ELWA Kid, David Frazee, to support ongoing renovation work at the ELWA Campus. Thanks to partners like you, what once lived only on paper is now taking shape in concrete, tile, and transformed spaces.
Our primary focus on this trip was the Trinity Guesthouse, where two new bathrooms are being added to better serve visiting ministry partners. I’m excited to share that:

• The walls and roof are up
• Plumbing and electrical are in place
• Doors and windows are installed

This represents a major step forward in making the guesthouse a welcoming, functional home base for those coming to serve.
Across the campus, other renovation projects are moving ahead as well. The PEDS ward repairs were completed on November 4, and tiling work is underway at J9B. These updates aren’t just cosmetic—they directly support better care for patients and healthier living and working spaces for staff.

None of this happens without the tireless work of the ELWA Services staff in Liberia, who kept things moving forward even when plans had to change. While we weren’t able to bring a full U.S. construction team as originally hoped, this trip was a clear reminder that flexibility, perseverance, and partnership are at the heart of this ministry.

As EMAUSA, our commitment remains the same:

• To steward every dollar wisely
• To work alongside our Liberian partners—not over them
• And to invest in infrastructure, education, health, and ministry so the gospel can continue to go forward in Liberia for generations to come.  

Looking ahead, we’re continuing to evaluate how best to support future renovation projects—sometimes that looks like sending teams, sometimes it means financial support, and sometimes it’s simply showing up to encourage the local staff who faithfully serve day after day.

​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
