IN 1988, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF BRO MARTINUS L. JOHNSON, CHAIRPERSON ,
MUSIC COMMITTEE, THE FUMC WAS BLESSED AND REPLACED ITS MORE THAN
TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD ORGAN.

WITH THE ABSENCE OF ELECTRICITY, THE ORGAN PROVIDED HOME FOR RATS
AND OTHER CREATURES, DESTROYING OUR ORGAN.
In 2007, UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF BRO. ZACKERY TAYLOR MAJOR, BRO. MARTINUS L.

THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS
COMMUNITY MEMBERS APPRECIATE THE WELL
Community member, David Brown, interviewed by LWI Liberia and who stated, “The old water source
was not safe for the school and the community. Due to this issue, members of the school and the
community were fetching water from the creek for cooking, washing and drinking. The school has a
hand pump that was not serving them to the fullest during the dry season. Many thanks to God for this
new water source because it will serve the school and the community. May God richly bless the donors
for their great support in the name of Jesus Christ.”

RECOGONIZED . TODAY, MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED LIBERIANS OF THE
