We joined as a family with a vision for a residential rehabilitation work within the community.  That was nine years ago and the vision is still burning in our hearts.

Last year we completed a building project, we believed God had indicated to do.  We invested our capital to develop our asset base.  Our plan was to sell our buildings and invest in a project this year to assist others.

This was not to be, we did not sell the buildings.  Instead we shifted into one and eventually rented another.  God knew the plans he has for us, they were plans for good and not for evil.  His plans give us a future and a hope.

In March we had to re-finance the loan we had taken out.  It was at this point that we received the call that we had been blessed with this Liberty Trust loan.

We felt a mixture of joy yet sadness as our plan was for this to be used for a ministry centre not for our personal gain.

At present Jen is working for Prisoners Aid as their Field worker, and John is still working in New Guinea running Sunday school, hospital aid, and has assisted in the building of two new churches for poor communities.

We do not even begin to know the end of this story.  We do know that we can trust in the LORD with all our hearts and we don’t lean to our own understanding but acknowledge Him in all our ways so He can continue to direct our paths.  He knows our hearts desires, we believe for them to come forth.

We praise God for his constant love and support as he guides us on.  May the Father richly bless all who contribute to the work of Liberty Trust.
