Dear friends and partners, Grace and peace to you and your family from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Words were insufficient to express the joy of a mother from Liberia in West Africa, who was informed that her son’s schooling would be fully paid up for one year. This mother had been praying desperately to God for the money to pay for her son’s education. In Liberia, women like her work hard all day selling donuts and other traditional items, but earn less than $1.00 a day. Unknown to her, New City Fellowship and faithful partners like you, had begun to support children’s education in West Africa, through Christian Foundation for Education (CFE). When she learned that her son received a CFE scholarship for one year at Kingdom School in Liberia, she started running back and forth from the school to her house shouting joyously, her face littered with tears of gratitude and relief. It takes as little as US$100.00 for one full year of primary or high school education, yet this is way beyond the reach of so many families in Liberia, Togo and Burkina Faso, where war, oppression and poverty have left parents hopeless about their children’s future. CFE’s goal is to provide financial and spiritual support to children and youth who are impoverished, to help them achieve a sound education and go on to be leaders in their various spheres of endeavor. We began responding to this need by sponsoring just a handful of children. With your support, we now cater to 81 children across the three West African countries, sending them to institutions like Kingdom School, where there is a commitment to providing quality education in the context of the life-changing message of the gospel. We also want to expend the ministry in other countries in West Africa like Niger, Benin, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Mali. We are truly grateful for how you have helped make the dreams of these parents and children become more of a possibility. We urge you to partner with us again to help these children for the upcoming academic year (2008-2009) by taking on a full scholarship of $100.00 or by sponsoring a child in part. These scholarships cover, tuition, school supplies and uniforms, but most of all, they give hope to a child, to a family, and the future leadership within these West African nations. It is a great investment! If you believe God is leading you to invest in this mission to transform the lives of these destitute and orphan children, please make your check payable to New City Fellowship and send it to: New City at 1142 Hodiamont Avenue, St Louis MO63112 and include CFE in the Memo line. Thank you again and may the Lord of all grace, bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.
