We wanted to bring to your attention a need from a missionary in Liberia (we do not want to disclose her name at this time). In her application she describes what she does there...

I am working as a missionary with EQUIP, but I do my own personal ministry as well. The church I attend has a choir that wants to learn American music to complement their African music. We also sing hymns (from very old hymnals), and because there are no instruments and no one can read music, the tunes are usually much different from that written. I have found it difficult to teach them both the melody and parts to songs without help with an instrument. These people have been deprived of so much from the wars, but they love the Lord and love music. I want them to learn music and sing it correctly.

Here are the immediate needs that she has:
Keyboard (66 note, with some different instrumental tones (piano, organ, etc.). It needs to be 220V and/or battery.

She also needs accompaniment tapes to sing to for a male quartet, choir and solos.

If you can help with any of these needs please contact us! Thank you very much for your constant prayers and support.

We found this sweet picture of children in Liberia...
