Bibles!!

February 24, 2009
Here are a few pictures of the students at IFEM Christian Academy in Monrovia, Liberia with their new Bibles, purchased for them by Hearts for Africa. They received their Bibles at the school today and are theirs to keep and to take home each day.
Here is a note sent from Brother Chris, our ground worker in Monrovia:
"The students and teachers expressed appreciations and thanks to you very much.If you
see a lots of serious faces on the photos was after a very strong advise was gaven about
how this Gift should be carefully taken care of and properly make use of it. I asked the teachers about their urgent needs about the school.There were many things
talked about such as texts books etc.They frankly told me that in time past,text books
had been the major problem for them,but thank to GOD through you that,the worries of text books are over."

New books for the school!

For the first time in their lives, the students at IFEM Christian Academy in Monrovia, Liberia now have textbooks! We have recently purchased about 70 Math and Language books for the school; 10 for each grade. Within the next few days, Bibles will be purchased for each student that can read, which is about 60. What a blessing!!!
Here are some pictures of the students with their new books:
