Global • Liberty People, Vanuatu
For over thirty years, Liberty People have been sharing the gospel and serving the poor around the globe, and New Viners have been key supporters for well over a decade.
You may know the work of Liberty People through the ministry in Vanuatu. In Port Vila, Liberty People runs a large Christian school, called LifeChanger Christian College, and partners with local churches to run large evangelistic events, which have several times reached attendances of over 15,000 local people.
In the Philippines, Liberty partners with a local church in Oriental Mindoro to bring the kingdom to those in need.
In both of these nations, responding to natural disasters is vital, since both are particularly vulnerable. In the major cyclones of the 2010s, for example, local partners helped to rebuild or repair over 2,000 homes for devastated families.
In the Mediterranean, including West Asia, Liberty supports and champions the persecuted church in sensitive nations, keeping a tight relationship with church plants in the region.
“Friends from New Vine have even traveled with us and boldly shared the gospel in this region, and we are only getting started on such important work! It is our true pleasure to continue furthering the gospel of Jesus among the nations in friendship with New Vine.”
All of this work is overseen by a small family team made up of Steve and Helen Blake (founders) and their sons Jon and Matt, in partnership with local volunteers and staff in each nation. Due to this “lean” organisational structure, costs are minimal, and all allocated donations can be committed to their target mission field without deducting any percentage for administrative costs.
