Kuwaa Mission June 2014 Prayer Letter

Fresh, clean water is so vital for life among the Kuwaa people in Liberia, West Africa.  Now 14 of the 16 villages in the Kuwaa Chiefdom have one or more wells built by the Mission to provide this precious life-giving and life-saving necessity for the people. Infant and child mortality is such that half the children die before reaching the age of 10 years!

Christ Lutheran Church in Costa Mesa, CA, where we are members, has contributed the necessary funds to provide for a well in the village of Konjade near where our family lived 40 years ago while we served as missionaries with Lutheran Bible Translators. The well was completed several months ago and a plaque was placed on the well cover in recognition of the generous gift of our church.

The children of Christ Lutheran School also contributed  to the Kuwaa Mission through their April chapel offerings. Their  goal was $500. They were short of the goal until the 4th grade girls pictured below (Kennedy, Grace and Leila) held a fund raiser which put them over the top,  including a $40 gift from Leila. In lieu of birthday presents, she asked family and friends to contribute to the Kids 4 Kuwaa Project providing school materials for the Kuwaa children. Thank you Leila and the children of Christ Lutheran School.

Ed Stelling, member of the Kuwaa Mission Board of Directors.
