Dear MFP family and friends,
With
much gratitude, I would like to thank each and all of you for being a part of this wonderful organization. There is so much
to be thankful for as God continues to bless us bountifully. It is my belief that the year 2007 has been our most successful

one and see what God has done", here is a summary of how God has blessed us this year:
January - Your Board of Directors made a wise decision in
selecting Mr. Christian Herbert to serve as Project Director of MFP's already registered NGO in Liberia. With no hesitation,
he accepted and continues to serve without compensation.
January/February - Mr. Herbert and team travels
to Maryland County where a comprehensive Needs Assessment of all 4 districts is conducted.
