Liberia:
This month we launched a virtual new program to tackle a horrific lingering problem in Liberia. Twenty-four Liberians, double the amount expected, joined Roy and Roberta Reed and key trauma experts from Liberia and the USA for our first training.
“According to studies conducted by organizations like the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, 40% of Liberians suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and other mental health conditions. These disorders have taken root deeply in the national consciousness, affecting people’s ability to heal, rebuild, and move forward.” — Sistershospitallers.org
Your prayers and contributions are vital to meet these needs and help Liberia move forward!
Darius in Togo
Once again Darius represented us at the Africa Sport Strategic Planning Conference in Togo. Forty leaders met this month to develop strategies to share the gospel through sport. The movement is a network of leaders of sports ministries and churches from 170 countries.
