Africa Mission Trips 2025


FEEDING THE WORD:
LIBERIA AFRICA MISSION TRIP 2025

EXCITING NEWS:
I’m Heading Back to Liberia
in January 2025!

I am thrilled to share that the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary in Liberia, West Africa, has given me an incredible invitation to teach two theology classes in January 2025! This trip is a chance for me to serve, learn, and be a part of something greater as we work alongside Christian friends to support initiatives in education, health care, and spiritual growth. Will you partner with me in prayer and financial support?

PARTNER WITH ME IN PRAYER AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT!

MY GOAL: $5,000.00 per semester for airfare, visas, travel expenses, emergency/evacuation plans, and other necessities. Would you and your church prayerfully consider partnering with me through financial sponsorship? I can’t do this alone, and that’s where I need your help! Every contribution, no matter the size, will help bring me one step closer to being able to serve and make an impact.

ALSO, I hope to RAISE $10,000.00 for PROJECTS and PROGRAMS in Liberia, such as Bible for Africa, Student Tuition Assistance, construction of the new Graduate Education Building, sustainable agriculture programs, library science and technology repairs, water purification systems, solar power project, and other humanitarian initiatives in Jesus’ name.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Partner in Prayer and Financial Support

PRAY – Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare for this journey, for safe travels, and the people of Liberia that the Lord will boldly proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and raise up a new generation of fully devoted Jesus followers, evangelist, pastors/teachers, and church planters.

DONATE – Any amount is greatly appreciated! If you feel led to contribute, you can donate via https://west-side-baptist-church.square.site/, mail your donation marked “Liberia Mission” payable to West Side Baptist Church, 1008 SW 4th St., Topeka, Kansas 66606 or reach out to me directly for more details.

SHARE – Help spread the word!  Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers! I’m excited to see what God will do through this mission and how we can make a difference together. 

Blessings, 
Ivan+ 

Students need Teachers!
Teachers need Students!

SCHOLARSHIPS: I am delighted God called me to travel 4,500 miles to teach students at the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary.

However, students cannot attend classes or finish their training to be local church pastors because they lack funds for tuition. A class costs $580 (undergraduate) to $1,200 (graduate) per year.

Sponsor a student to help them earn an education!
