In the last couple of days, I have been brainstorming. In Liberia, where I was a missionary, there is now a community of 20,000 people about a half-mile away. What if a training center could be developed for ministry training. Not a seminary but willing to train literate people with the education they have.
At that center, medical training for RN's, med techs able to go in the bush and practice medicine with assisted advice from RN's, doctors, nurse practitioners.
Why not expand training in carpentry, plumbing, electricity, and other practical trades.
On location promote online education to extend to remote areas. Even in the existing school system, how can online education enhance classes from K-College.
Right away, development must include Liberian partnership in all things done at the center. Being a Christian outreach, the center would have a foundation for the full effect in Spirit, Mind, Soul, and Strength.
From what I can see, there is little development in psychological care. From war to ebola, now Covid 19, there have to be many people suffering mentally. Care for the mentally ill in general; there is much to do. Again what practical support could be given from the skilled in the areas to remote areas online.
As I move forward in this endeavor, I will pursue these things with care. Connecting the bridge of present Liberian realities and with people who can make these things happen should be a good retirement plan. Keep walking.
