Meet Mariatu

This is Mariatu Tarawally.

Mariatu and her husband both work in the quarry at a village called Quari, just a few miles from Brigitte Village. Lifegate has a fellowship here, a church that meets in someone's home. Mariatu is learning and sharing God's stories and is suffering some persecution from people in the village. 

Her children are three and four years old, and Mariatu must leave them in the village when she goes to work. 

"As a woman, it is very difficult to break stones," said Pastor Justus Koroma. "They don't have the kind of strength it takes, but it is the ONLY way of living. Most of them want to leave this type of job."

Please pray that Mariatu can continue to receive encouragement from the prayers of her fellowship and that she might find work that will be less of a strain on her family.
