Leah and Jassie ~ family updates

You may remember when Marsha and Jackie went on their last trip to Liberia, Chris brought them to the poorest family he knew of in his village. They had to trek through the bush to find the Korlubah home that was far below any adequate standard of living. Our animals in North America have better living conditions than this family and many other people living in Liberia. This is the picture of the Korlubah's when we first met them in their jungle home.



Since meeting Leah and her two young children, HFA found a new place for her to live closer to town so that she can have her own business and provide for her family.

Here is a picture of Leah Korlubah with her two children, Hannah and Aaron, in front of their new house:

Every day life for them is a struggle, but we pray that we have made at least a small difference in their lives and continue to pray that our Heavenly Father will keep His loving arms around them!


Here is a picture of Hannah and Aaron Korlubah at their school, which was made possible through our sponsorship program. This is Aaron's first time ever going to a grade school. With our remaining funds, we were able to enroll them in to one more term of school; we pray that Leah's business will prosper enough so that these children may continue to receive an education.

Jassie was our faithful ground worker at the Buduburam Camp in Ghana right up until we finished our work there earlier this year. We relocated her to Liberia (where she is originally from) and set her up in a business of her own once she got there.

Here is a picture of Jassie with one of her children in front of her new home near Monrovia, Liberia.


Three of these children are Jassie's and the others are relatives of the uncle she is renting a room from.

And now, as 2011 comes to a close, it is indeed with sad and burdened hearts that we will be parting ways with these precious families. Hearts for Africa wishes to sincerely thank all of those who have followed the prompting of the Holy Spirit and given so generously to help just a few of the people who live in such desperate situations in West Africa. While our hearts will always hold a huge place for Africa, we now leave them entirely to the care of our Heavenly Father. Please remember these and the souls of so many others who so desperately need the work of God's Holy Spirit in their lives!
