DOC LAWSON

How did you get involved in missions?

Saw the need to help the children of Liberia, West Africa. After 20 years of civil war, most of the adults got killed. Today 80% of the 4.5 million population of Liberia is under 20. 

Did you ever imagine you would be where you are today?

By the grace of God, I believe now, but I never thought I would impact the lives of all the children in the entire nation of Liberia.

What projects/objectives have you been working this year?

Restarting sports and recreation programs after the Ebola crisis in Liberia for the children.

How can we pray for you? Pray for my health, safety and stamina to reach the entire children population with safe/clean drinking water, recreation sports and share the gospel with every child we serve (approx 1.5 million children) by 2030.

What practical needs do you currently have?

Collect soccer, basketball and volleyball equipment. Raise fund to hire more people on the ground in Liberia to implement programs. Need volunteers to help us pack our 40ft container with sports equipment.
