Staff members at GraceLife Church: pastors, school superintendent, principal, teachers, church planters, and future church planters.

2nd and 3rd grade assignment. Notice the clay bricks and mortar. The school is renting the buildings hoping to buy in the future and rebuild.
The Pre-K and Kindergarten class.
10 foot deep well that services this community.
A kitchen. Not the school’s. However, the school is planning to begin a lunch program. The children come to school many times without breakfast and do not bring any food for lunch.
This Black Kite is in a power dive to take one of our chicks. We have about 7 chickens that provide for us – eggs and meat – and lunch for Black Kites ( Liberians affectionately refer to them as “chicken thief.” He had a successful dive in this picture. I was fortunate to snap this picture, it took about 3 seconds for him to come and go with his meal.
Singing at a church plant from GraceLife.
