Dear Rev. Pevlor, 

Glory to God for making this day a testimony in my life, the ministry, and in my family. 

The dedication service was a real blessing especially that you were very audible on the phone as though you were right inside of the church. Your English was very simple to a point that the least person heard and understood you this afternoon. 

I appreciate you for the prayers for my son J.B. Gombay, and for the new edifice, indeed J.B’s first day in church today was a blessing. 

I had wanted to e-mail all of the photos especially our family photo but the camera man could not get that done on today except during the week. So I hope to send it soonest by the grace of God. But I have attached few photo’ of today’s dedication service with the cell phone in my hand connect to the microphone. 

       

Rev. Pevlor I hereby extend a big, big thank you to you, your faithful wife, and to all those who are making the vision of Christ to prosper on this side of the world in Jesus name.  

The amount received yesterday was: $1370.00 USD

$700.00 USD for the Refuge home.

$670.00 USD for any other use. 

How was the $700.00 USD Spent? 

This money arrived at the time when the children had exhausted the last bag for the week and were in desperate need of food and food items. That very Saturday the Matron (Care Taker) had just called me up on phone that they children needed food. When I received your call that afternoon I was teaching one of the sessions of Victorious Faith School of Ministry, I hurriedly ran off to town to collect the money at Western Union and the miracle was welcomed by serious dancing, and prayer of thanksgiving hailing the greatness of God and appreciating you, and all those that the Lord is using to be a blessing to us. Is been over three months I have been buying rice per cup for my house because I don’t want to play around the little you help us with for the maintenance of the Refuge home. 

Expenditure:

5 bags of rice:                       $35 x 5=175

1 tin of oil:                            $28.00

1 bag of bulgur wheat:            $25.00

1 tin of milk :                         $12.00

1 bag of beans:                      $40.00

1 bag of sugar:                       $50.00

2 bags of fire coal:                  $12.00

4 doz. Spoons:                       $25.00

Shower slippers:                     $40.00

2 Cart. Bath soap:                  $90.00

4 doz. Briefs for boys:             $70.00

4 doz. Underwear’s for girls:     $62.00

Tithe:                                  $70.00

Grand Total:                        $699.99 USD

I deliberately spent the money this way so as to give me some breathing space for expenditure at least for three weeks. 

The money you sent will also be added to the little I have been able to raise to get the children back to School latest Monday. The government has announced that all Schools close in June next month which is quite unusual. So we are to commence exams in two weeks from now. My greatest plight had been the kids from outside of the home from the communities. But thank God all is going to be well tomorrow by the grace of God. 

I also got few things for my wife and kids which made them happy. In fact we served juice and bread to all the children of the Refuge home today after service for them to celebrate with Jonathan Bill Gombay. 

Rev. Pevlor, regarding the land issue I attempted sharing with you yesterday.

The Commissioner and the township voluntarily gave 20 acres of land (80 plots) to the church for the sake of development. 

We have gone through all the formalities with the Township Elders, and youths. The certificate of the agreement (ownership) was brought to my office a month ago by the Commissioner and one Elder of the Township.

Now whenever one receives the certificate, you are now free to do your land survey so that you can process the Deed, probate it, and file a copy at the National archive. If this is not done, any body can claim the land at any time or the Township might change their mind. 

The prayer point now is for the Lord to provide the funds for me to carry out this survey. I contacted a surveyor and the standard charge per plot is $175.00 USD especially that area in concern is a very thick bush. 4 plots make an acre so we have 20 acres which is 80 plots of land. The money is exorbitant but I found a born again Christian licensed surveyor who has vowed to help with a minimal cost of $1,500.00 USD and process all the Deeds, probate them and file the documents all included in that cost because he will have to buy the revenue stamp etc. 

Rev. Pevlor, this land is an expensive miracle that is not common in Africa especially Liberia.

My intent is to establish a Victorious Faith Mission School on 2 plots of land that will contain a Borden home for other kids from around the country to send their children to School. 2 plots will also be used to erect 15 bed room and a Staff Quarters for the Victorious Faith Refuge home. The children will be relocated to this new home with a unique environment for education, and proper upbringing. 1 plot will be used to erect a branch of the Victorious Faith ministry at Bensenville.  

The remaining 15 acres I decide to invest in agriculture. 10 acres for rice farming and 5 acres for mixed vegetable farming. Proceeds from this farm will be used to sustain the Refuge home and I also intend to sell bags of rice to other Orphanage homes at a cheaper rate instead of $35.00 USD I will sell it 20.00  USD which is also a poverty reduction strategy. The vegetables will also be sold and supplied to NGO’ in the country and to Orphanage homes across the country. This is own way of easing the burden of food supply to Orphanage homes. 

The farm will create job opportunity for members of the church, it will also create a huge financial avenue for the ministry. 

We don’t have much problem with putting up the structures because, we will use the mud on the land to mold mud bricks which are very solid, we will not buy timber because we will only need our own sawing machine to saw the size of planks or wood that we need from the trees on the land. Another thing is that if I have the sawing machine now, we would have started burning fire coal in huge quantities bringing them over to Monrovia for sale and for the use of the Orphanage. Imaging a bag of fire coal is $6.00 in the rains. We have enough trees on the land because the place is a forest that have never been inhabited or cultivated before. 

These are my ideas by the grace of God. And I really want us to pray about it because the Commissioner wrote me last week informing me of the urgency of the Survey in my own interest. I have gone on the land and in fact I was told that there is gold also on the land. 

Again Rev. Pevlor, the Lord is readily fulfilling His word of prophesy for the work in Liberia/ Africa through the Victorious Faith Ministry. We will commit it into His holy hands and then face the challenge in the name of the Lord. 

Thanks very much and God bless you, the family, the ministry, and all those who are sowing deeply into the work of God, reviving the hope of the children at the Victorious faith Refuge home. 

Hope to hear from you by the grace of GOD. 

Pastor Andrew.
