Transform a Life Today
Give a gift to help fund schooling for Liberian children
In recent years, Christian missionaries have been leaving the vital mission field that is Africa due to civil unrest and financial problems. Mission agencies too have closed their doors and have no plans to return to the region or to continue with financial support. As a result, Christian nationals have been left to continue the work of missions on their own.
Messiah Mission for Africa believes that it is time that missionary work is entrusted to nationals.
