Augustine

Who is Augustine Fredricks?  Augustine is the Director of YFC Liberia.  He is the overseer of all programs and volunteers that YFC Liberia runs and assists with.  Without Augustine there would be no YFC in Liberia.  Augustine is a husband and also a father of two beautiful little girls.  Before the war started in Liberia, He was a teacher/principle of an elementary school.  Therefore education is very close to his heart.  It is Augustine that will oversee our team in November and he will be responsible overseeing the running of the school we are building there.  That is many hats for one man.  That is where his faith comes in.  Augustine is strong in his faith and is always leaning on God.  Even in the midst of Ebola, Augustine would contact us and say, "Thank God for everything".  He is a great encourage for us.  His goal is to reach the youth of Liberia and bring them to faith.  The love of Jesus is what he extends to the youth. It doesn't matter to him whether they are from the poorest slums or getting the highest education, he treats them all with the same amount of respect and love.  When I feel my faith is as small as a mustard seed, Augustine reminds me that God can do wonders with anything.  I am so thankful to call Augustine friend.
So why am I telling you about my Friend?  Well, it is because we are trying to raise money to cover the cost of his wages and programs.  Augustine in payed through the generosity of people like you.  Our goal is to have ten people willing to commit to $50 a month to cover the cost of Augustine's wages.  That the less then the price of a cup of coffee a day at Tim Horton's!  Far less if your a Starbucks lover!  Imagine all the children that could be reached on $1.67 a day!  The money we raise covers Augustine's costs not only for himself but for so many programs he runs.  If you can not commit monthly how about a one time gift?  The cost of one bag of rice to feed a family of four in Liberia is $60!  Can you feed his family for a month?  Please donate.
