What was The Love Liberia Project?

The Love Liberia Project was an undertaking by the people of The Grove to love, inspire, and to help rebuild a broken nation.  We brought a medical team to provide treatment to people who otherwise have no access to medical care, a leadership team to train and encourage local pastors and future leaders, a dirt bike squad to deliver the roughly 2000 pairs of shoes that members of our church donated last fall to various villages, a sports team, as well as a music team to transcend cultural boundaries with the spirit of worship.  In addition to these teams, a construction team will leave soon after the other teams get back to help rebuild African Bible College.
