TOP: The incredible journey of River Mission Elementary School began with the visionary teacher sponsorship program launched in 2018, a crucial initiative that has not only sustained the school but has also seen its student population nearly double. Among them is the remarkable Janet, who despite facing the profound challenges of limited mobility and the tragic loss of her parents to the Ebola disease, has emerged as a beacon of hope and tenacity. This summer, she celebrated her graduation from River Mission School and is set to continue her educational journey at Grace Mission School, under the compassionate guidance of Pastor Nelson Quaye. The impact of the teacher sponsorship program is transformative, now extending its reach to five schools and benefiting over 700 students in total.
MIDDLE: Meanwhile, the newly constructed Shawtown multi-purpose outreach building is already buzzing with activity, as outreach meetings take place, even with the floors awaiting plastering! Here, the dedicated students of Will Go School of Ministry are actively engaging, applying their knowledge in real-world settings, and embodying the spirit of service. Our vision for this space is to become a vibrant mission ground for the LORD, a hub for community engagement and spiritual growth.
BOTTOM: We are thrilled to share the inspiring progress of the Will Go School of Ministries, which is now serving an incredible 144 students across four locations, including our vibrant Monrovia main branch at Grace Mission School! Every Friday, dedicated classes are empowering these students to become effective disciples, equipped to carry out meaningful ministry work. LEFT: Elementary students at Grace Mission School enjoy a nutritious meal once a week, amounting to over 12,000 meals provided for 276 students each school year! We give heartfelt thanks and praise to our LORD for His abundant blessings. Together, we are fostering spiritual growth as well reinforcing the values of compassion that lie at the heart of our mission.

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN & EVERYWHERE | |
|
TOP: This past month, Pastor John Peter embarked on a journey to the remote villages of Bamikemo and Akintaju, where he passionately preached the good news of Christ. The heavens erupted in joy as several souls embraced faith and committed their lives to Jesus—what a glorious moment to celebrate!
MIDDLE: On Nigeria's Independence Day, a vibrant gathering of 120 children came together, waving their national flags high as they interceded for Nigeria. It was a sight to behold as Ezekiel, Pastor John's son, invited these little ones to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, with many joyfully responding to the call. "Let the little children come to me!" Jesus proclaimed, and indeed they did!
BOTTOM: To further our outreach, we recently acquired a new battery-operated speaker, which Pastor John and Ezekiel are already using to spread the gospel in bustling marketplaces. Our mission is alive and thriving; let’s go tell it on the mountain and everywhere!

MANY PARTS WORKING TOGETHER | |

TOP: Kam with Gibson (Right) who recently arrived in Vancouver from a Tanzanian refugee camp. Thanks to the generous support of volunteers like Eric, who meticulously serviced a donated bicycle, Gibson can now cycle to school and access places that were previously out of reach, enhancing his daily life and opportunities.
BOTTOM: We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our volunteers whose unwavering dedication makes our Downtown Eastside (DTES) outreach initiatives possible. From preparing 200 sandwiches to offering supplies, lending a listening ear, praying for those in need, and distributing tracts, each action and every smile radiates God's love and hope to those who feel lost and forgotten. We are also deeply appreciative of our ministry partner, Hope2offer Ministry, for their invaluable contribution of Bibles and Christian literature to those searching for the truth.
Recently, during a pre-Christmas art and craft event organized by our devoted volunteer Jenn, who has been with us for over 15 years, we witnessed how creativity and faith beautifully intertwine to foster community connections and joy. Ollie, a talented graduate from Emily Carr University Art program, inspired participants with watercolor painting, showcasing the God-given creativity that enriches our lives. A mother of 5 children greatly enjoyed such special time.
Together, we can spread God's love and hope by one act of kindness at a time.

It's hard to put in exact words, but perhaps the Top Left photo says it all - YOU BELONG HERE! God has allowed us to find a great (new) church family. Just last Saturday, Larry and I were part of the Prayer Team. As cars drove through the church lot to receive a food basket, they stopped for prayer first. There were many requests - new tires, cancers to be gone, healings of all kinds, family problems, and more. But what amazed us most was when we asked if we could touch their shoulder as we prayed, everyone immediately moved close to the window for our touch or thrust their hands out of the car! (Did I mention it was very cold and slightly misty?). For two hours the cars kept coming; it was hard to keep from crying, seeing and hearing so many miserable circumstances. However, each one tangibly received a touch of God's love, and (we pray) left more hopeful than when they first arrived.
We have become part of Jacob's Well's volunteer team - helping in many ways. Jared introduced us to this compassion ministry (nestled in the Indiana woods- Middle Right photo) that helps single mothers with children find new hope. The program includes housing for the whole family and can last up to two years-we'll be sharing more in months to come.
And finally, just to be able to enjoy family-Women of Joy conference with Angie and nieces, decorating cookies with Hannah for the church Fall outreach, and attending Jaden's football/basketball games. Thanksgiving was even more precious; celebrated late because of Jared's emergency surgery. He was able to sit at the table too. Thank you Lord, Amen.
