We have just received this request from Missionary Fred Adams....
The community of Libertad is in dire need of a well. This project is so needed. There was a terrible outbreak of typhoid fever which affected 880 people with a few of them dying. It will happen again if something is not done soon. The Government is without funds for this small community. However, this community also hosts one of the largest Free Methodist Churches in all of the Philippines. The Light and Life Development (Elim Farm) Foundation will direct the project. One of the board members is a highly elected official in the Libertad precinct. The money would be WELL managed. He is the one who arranged for the well executed list of materials and the detailed detailed plan for implementing the project. Every phase of the project would be directly under his leadership. He is a dynamic Christian, is bold in his faith. Few such outspoken Christians get elected repeatedly to public office. He is a true man of prayer.
If you would like to know more about sponsoring this project, please contact us.
