Barrels of Love was founded by Asbury United Methodist Church in Allentown, PA several decades ago to supply Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia and other Liberian ministries with much-needed supplies of medical equipment, medicines, clothing, children's books, school curriculum and more. Recently additional congregations and their members have begun to participate in this ministry through the collection of pill bottles (Waterfield has a pharmacy but no containers for prescribed medications), flip-flops to prevent the spread of soil-borne parasites and more. The June 1st shipment of Barrels of Love from Asbury included items from members of Jordan United Church of Christ in Allentown, PA; Grace Lutheran Church in Macungie, PA: First Methodist Church in Eatonton, GA; and St. Andrew's United Methodist Church in Milton, PA. If your congregation would like to participate in collections for the Waterfield Medical Center, please contact us. You would be responsible for the collection, shipping to Allentown, PA and helping us fund shipping to Liberia. This a wonderful opportunity for your congregation to participate in hands-on mission.
