Gbarnga Lutheran Mission Project

🏗️ Growing to Serve More Students

GLTC continues to expand! New construction plans include:
📚 Additional classrooms
🔬 A science lab
💻 A computer lab

These spaces will help students gain the skills they need for future education and careers.

🦟 Fighting Malaria in Liberia

Malaria remains one of the leading causes of illness and death in Liberia, especially for children.

At GLTC, we are actively working to:
✔️ Educate students and families
✔️ Distribute mosquito nets
✔️ Provide testing and treatment

Health is essential for learning and thriving.

🌱 Investing in the Future

Our Legacy of Hope Endowment Fund has grown from $48,000 to over $200,000 since 2021!

This fund helps provide long-term support for education, clean water, and health initiatives in Liberia. Ensuring impact for years to come.

📚 Building Strong Teachers, Strong Futures

At GLTC, we invest in our teachers through training, fair pay, and ongoing support.

In a country where teaching is often undervalued, we are working to build a team of skilled, respected educators who are shaping the next generation.

✨ A Life Transformed Through Education

Moses once lived in a small mud home, drinking water from the swamp and unable to attend school.

Today, he’s a Grade 8 student, class leader, and role model at GLTC, with dreams of becoming a pastor.

Stories like his remind us: this mission is about more than education, it’s about transformation.

We just earned our Platinum Seal of Transparency
from !

According to Candid’s research, “Fewer than 1% of all registered U.S. nonprofits hold the Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, which represents the highest level of recognition for an organization's public reporting. While roughly 5% of nonprofits achieve any level of Candid seal (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum), the Platinum level is awarded to a small, elite group.”

This recognition reflects our commitment to openness, accountability, and faithful stewardship. Thank you for trusting us and partnering in this mission!

📚 Education Update from Liberia

Sharon arrived safely and is already working with teachers at GLTC, observing classrooms, modeling lessons, and offering encouragement as they prepare for the new school year.

We also met with graduating teacher candidates at Rafiki Village. Four students expressed interest in teaching at GLTC, and two stood out strongly. We are now praying about their willingness to relocate to Gbarnga.

🌱 Growing Projects in Gbarnga

We’ve made new connections with the Liberian Minister of Agriculture as we seek partnerships for our expanding farm projects. Our agriculture team is already opening new garden areas and installing simple irrigation systems during the dry season.

Plans are also underway to meet with local communities about new hand pump well sites to ensure safe, long-term access to clean water.
