Can We?



Africans have a tradition of taking care of their old folks, especially by family members, and we still look forward to doing just that. but as the world around us moves in one direction of a global village, we tend to copy some of those things that make life what it is. So, as we've some time ago discussed the Old Folks Issue in the Liberia Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, it's becoming a reality. Students of the Alabama University Wesleyan Foundation did commit themselves to initiating a home for our Old Folks. They've worked over the years to get the funding, put in their time and talents for the actualization of this dream. Blessedly, there is a building in the Dwazon Community of Margibi County within the Kakata/Farmington River district of our conference that will pay host to the first of its kind in mission history in Liberia. To God be the glory
