Sponsor a Student - for $25/month!!
Imagine the barriers that are broken through literacy and a relationship with Christ? What a tangible way to offer hope in Jesus' Name. Of course any amount and one-time gifts are a huge blessing!
As always 100% of all Hope and Care gifts go straight to the student with zero administrative fees!!
Hope Lutheran School is now in session and serving students from Nursery - Grade 11. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to share Jesus Christ and impart knowledge, wisdom and integrity within our community and to future leaders of Liberia.
Destitution is not a stranger to Liberian families but some have it worse than others. For some, being able to provide an education would mean not providing food for their family. Scholarships allow parents to not choose between the two necessities in life.

In September '17 we officially opened the new school building with an enrollment of 300 students from Nursery - 6th Grade.
1/3 of the students received scholarships or they would not have been able to attend school. The farm in Bong county is designed and now being implemented to provide sustainability to the ministry and directly fund scholarships.

Hope Lutheran Elementary School Construction: 2017
2016 - School or Home?HCC School took up temporary residence inside the orphanage home while we waited for construction to be completed. The school opened in September 2016 with 115 students from Nursery through Grade 3.
When Hope and Care moved into our new community there were no school in the area, public or private. But do we tutor our kids or open a small school for the community? We had only constructed a home; the school was not built yet. So what else could we do but open our home to accommodate the school and as many kids in the community as possible. The older orphans commuted to the "nearby" school. There were many challenges as the 2 ministries co-existed in the Hope home. But, it was well worth the sacrifice!! Each day the living room in the Hope home was converted into 3 classrooms and each afternoon it reverted back to a living room. Bedrooms were also shared space. But what we developed was a strong healthy relationship with our new neighbors. Could we have just tutored our kids and had more space for the kids to live and study and eat? Sure but what would Jesus do? |
