Our friend, Dirk Helmling, from the US, is a missionary pastor to native Liberian pastors. He has committed his life to disciple these people so they in turn can spread the Good News of the Gospel to their own people! He travels to Liberia several times a year to minister to his group of Liberian pastors.
Dirk is in Liberia right now and was able to meet with Chris, our ground worker in Liberia. Hearts for Africa was able to send along with Dirk 2 suitcases of supplies for our sponsored kids as well as some gifts from their sponsoring families here in Canada. We also sent along some New Testament Bibles for the members of Chris's weekly Bible Study. For these people, it will be their first Bible ever that they are able to keep for themselves!! We praise God for this! We will post pictures of this distribution as soon as we get them from Chris.
What a blessing it was for Chris to receive this encouragement from Dirk as well as some Christian mentorship!! You can read more about Dirk's visit with Chris on his blog at:

HFA will be working more with Dirk in the future in not only humanitarian projects, but also in helping to feed the souls of these people with the Truth of the Gospel to transform their lives for eternity! Please pray with us as we move forward in this direction. We are very excited to see where God will lead in this way and will continue to keep you updated on future projects and events in Liberia!

Revolution in World Missions
In his book, Revolution in World Missions, Dr. K.P. Yohannan teaches the importance of not only meeting the needs of people physically, but to do all that we can to reach the unsaved people of the world with the true Word of God! He states, "when we allow a mission activity to focus on the physical needs of man without the correct spiritual balance, we are participating in a program that ultimately sends people to hell."
HFA believes this to be true and we would strongly encourage everyone to get a copy of this book for yourself. If you go to his website, you can order your free copy and also get it shipped to your home free of charge. Reading this book has changed our entire perspective of world missions and we believe that it will change yours too!!
HFA will be sponsoring two Liberian pastors starting this month. We will keep you updated on what they will be doing as soon as we receive the information ourselves. Please pray for these men as they go into their villages spreading the Word of God to their people.
Be blessed, be changed . . .
