During Stephen's recent mission trip to Liberia, we visited Obadiah and his family. They live a block away from the Hope Center. They attend the Hope Center Church.

Obadiah and his family (three kids and four grand kids) live in an extremely deplorable condition. They live in a dilapidated mat building that has only one room. The building has no floor and no beds. Everyone, including his kids, sleep on mats that are spread on bare floor. And because the building does not have a foundation, the family suffers heavily whenever there is a downpour of rain.

It is not clear if Obadiah and his family can recover from this condition by themselves, since they have no means of income due to the raging effects of poverty in the country. As you know, poverty stands at 64% in Liberia.

However, the good news is that several years back Obadiah began constructing his family house ( 3 bedrooms, one porch, one living room) before the economy's significant decline, leading to his loss of every possible means of income. Now, over the past five years, the building has been sitting there without further work. It is halfway into elevation.

Would you join us to help Obadiah and his family get a place to live, at least a befitting place where they can sleep at peace and where his children can grow? Together, we can help Obadiah and his family experience the "Now and Then" moment. They need $4,500. The amount will cover costs of elevation, roofing, and floor work. Please know that 100% of your donations will go to this very time-sensitive project. Obadiah and his children will forever remain grateful for your help, especially at this critical juncture of their lives.
