John Partor ’00, Ebenezer Browne ’05, Richard Vah ’06 and Elizabeth Tulay ’05 are Practicum graduates who returned to Liberia and are making a difference in their country. Read the following article about their latest accomplishment.

The Rev. John Partor, Pastor Ebenezer Browne, Pastor Richard Vah and Elizabeth Tulay organized a four-day sustainable agriculture seminar on July 2-5, 2007. Held at Duport Road Baptist Church in Monrovia, Liberia, Dr. Don and Lois Sobkovia led the workshops.

The Sobkovias have written a globally applicable book on sustainable agriculture. Sustainable Agriculture is designed to teach people from all background levels. Forty participants, mostly from churches and ministries of SIFAT alumni, attended the seminar. The topics covered included composting, bio-intensive gardening, animal husbandry and fish farming.

Bishop Dr. George M. Kiadili, one of the presidential candidates in the last Liberian election, helped distribute certificates. In his remarks to the graduates, Kiadili issued a challenge to use what they learned to improve the livelihood of their families and to continue giving this information to others. The graduates were commissioned to pass the training on to the rural parts of Liberia, where most people depend on farming and are unable to come to the city for training.

For more information about Practicum alumni, please contact Yollie Concepcion at concepciony@sifat.org.

www.sifat.org has changed! Have you noticed the differences? We now have an e-newsletter and update list you can register for, online calendars, online donations and current photos and information. During the process of getting our new site finished, please “pardon our progress” – we still have some minor problems to work out and fix.

The look of the blog will change as we learn how to make it look more like our site. We need to get the calendars posted correctly, so you can find the correct events and a few broken links probably exist. Please hang in for a couple of weeks while we make the needed adjustments.

But, we would like you to look around the site and become familiar with where everything can be found now! We have special sections for training, missions and children and youth. We also have a news tab that will let you read the latest articles about SIFAT.
