Give what you got


Tyler, Daniel and Josh are three young men who have a heart for serving, and are heading to Liberia, Africa to help in whatever way they can with the Orphan Grain Project and Global Orphan Outreach. They need your help! It is awesome to see these young adults active in the Global community and share their talents. Give what you got- and that is exactly what they are setting out to do.

They are all still in need of funds to help pay for their flight, and expenses while in Liberia, which will not include hotel costs as they will be staying the entire month with the Liberian people.

They will be training a team of Liberians on the Wood-mizer sawmill (that was a gift from the Wood-Mizer company), which will in turn provide wood for many of the building projects, and serve as a source of income in helping fund the Orphan Grain Project and Global Orphan Outreach in Liberia.

Where ever they are needed, and whatever work needs to be done from clearing fields, to building, to running the sawmill, these boys have volunteered their services. In Tyler's words, "A scripture that never leaves me alone, and I pray never does is Mark 12:31, "Love your neighbor as yourself". One thing that I've been learning over the years is how incredibly fortunate I am to grow up with so many opportunities that I have had. I feel as though I have been blessed with the opportunity to learn a lot in the construction/saw-milling field, and I feel as though the skills that I have acquired should be used to teach others. So that we may be able to pass on knowledge and help the Liberian people get on their feet, one person at a time." Tyler is also hoping to come back from the trip having gained a greater wisdom and understanding of what really matters in life, in hopes to continue on in support with a growing passion for helping others.
