$7050 – Total Start-up Cost
Investment in Rubber Tree Plantation – The strategy for sustainability of new churches is a “Win-Win”. We invest in the Liberian economy and workforce with agricultural development. The resulting profits mean Liberian churches don’t depend on support from the U.S. long-term.
$70/per bag – Fertilizer for return on investment (63 bags)
$100/month – Employment opportunities for plantation workers
Transportation to assist church planting around the country – Joe Lieway’s church planting ministry reaches all of Liberia and a reliable vehicle for transportation is their most pressing need.
$10,000 -Mini-van or a four-wheel drive truck
