Breaking the Cycle of Poverty ... One Child at a Time

SERVING: Part 2 of 6
Children of Hope: The Liberia Mission Story

Greetings!

We are pleased to present Serving: Part 2 of 6 - a world premiere exclusive of the new Liberia Mission documentary series - Children of Hope: The Liberia Mission Story. This series is being released on our website during Lent - one segment each Friday. "Children of Hope" tells the story of Liberia Mission, Inc. through some of its most remarkable children.

Serving: Part 2 of 6 tells the story of Benjamin Wollor who was never able to attend school prior to turning eleven because of Liberia's brutal, 14-year civil war. He also tragically lost his older brother during the war, a fate he escaped by inches. Ten years later, Benjamin was elected the President of his high school. His mother, not having seen him in years, traveled 3 days by boat to see his installation as President. She addressed the school about her son and the future of Liberia - a speech which nearly brought down the house. Benjamin lives at Liberia Mission and is a "big brother" to the younger children. His main goal in life is to become a Franciscan missionary priest, inspired by St. Francis to give up all he has to "serve the poor." Click on the picture below to watch and learn more!

Also in this issue - in case you missed it last week - you will find information on ways to connect to Liberia Mission this Lent. We are also happy to let you know that we have researched several Catholic organizations that welcome volunteer groups in Honduras. Please see below for more information.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support, and for all you do to bring hope and a brighter future for children living in poverty.

God bless you this Lenten Season,

Pray for the children of Liberia Mission, for all children, and for peace throughout the world.
Host a simple supper. Invite people to donate what they would have spent by going out to eat.
Sponsor a child, or write a letter to your sponsor child and email it to us.
Learn more about Liberia, its history, connection to the U.S., and its culture.
Invite your faith-sharing group to get involved by praying, fasting, or giving this Lent.
Suggest to your book club that you read a book about Liberia or West Africa.

Volunteer Group Opportunities in Honduras!

Providing opportunities for volunteer groups to experience and be changed by the children of Honduras has always been an important part of the mission and ministry of Mission Honduras International. We have heard from many of you that you would like to continue taking your group to Honduras.

We are pleased to let you know that a team of volunteers researched and then visited three different Catholic mission organizations in Honduras this winter. All three organizations are equipped and willing to welcome volunteer groups to serve at their sites. Each site is within a couple of hours of Tegucigalpa, and each provides different kinds of opportunities for small to large groups. Two long-time groups have already set up their trips for this summer!

For more information on volunteer group opportunities in Honduras, please contact us at volunteer@missionhonduras.com or 773-809-4008.
