Luke Smith Findraiser

Luke Smith Full Marathon Fundraiser

I first met Frances Swaray on a mission trip to Liberia in the summer of 2017. Frances has been faithfully serving in West Africa since 2016. During my trip, I was inspired by her heart for the Lord, compassion for the people there, and relentless drive to see change occur. In March 2018, her dreams of the Koinonia Trust came to life and the organization was established. At the time Frances asked me to serve as a non-executive board director. I happily joined, and have been a part of the team since then.

This Spring, I have decided to train for a full marathon with the purpose of raising awareness and financially supporting the Koinonia Trust. I am scheduled to run it on April 14th. With my busy travel schedule for work, I am viewing this not as a setback but rather an opportunity to train daily with others safely and share the work that is being done in Liberia and the finances needed to support it. I am asking people to consider giving through one of these ways:

  • 50¢ per mile ($13 total)
  • $1 per mile ($26 total)
  • $2 per mile ($52 total)
  • $3 per mile ($78 total)

Any form of giving is greatly appreciated. Would you consider donating in one of these four ways to help advance the amazing work in Liberia, as we seek to bring beauty out of ashes?

Anna’s Christmas Day Dip

Winter Fundraiser

Hey everyone,
It’s time for a Winter Fundraiser for the Koinonia Trust.
What could be more braver than a dip in the ice cold Atlantic Ocean on one of the most special days of the year?
Christmas Day is a day for giving- unwrapping neatly wrapped presents under the Christmas tree and enjoying good food and classic Christmas movie favourites with our families.
This year, while I look forward to the celebrations, I also want to take a little time to give something back to a cause that is close to my heart and I am asking you to  please show a little support if you can.

To support the fundraiser and donate please click the GoFundMe me link below.

The Koinonia trust continues to work amidst Covid-19. Unfortunately funding we had hoped to get internally in Liberia has been diverted to support the limited health services.
Therefore, as we move in to 2021, the Koinonia Trust is facing uncertain times as resources are limited. Operational fees such as the rent on the compound will be due in early Spring.  These premises is the epi-centre of where all the amazing project work takes place- right in the heart of the community.
It is not just the hub for all operational activities but also homes to some of our most valuable assets- the project workers.

New Update

Frances Swaray Trust Update

IMPORTANT FUNDING UPDATE FROM OUR FOUNDER

The Koinonia Trust continues to work in our local community amidst COVID-19 and the donor support we receive at this time is crucial.

Unfortunately the core funding we had hoped to get in the second half of 2020 from organization’s internally in Liberia has been diverted to support the limited health services and we now have very little resources and funds going in to 2021.

If you could help by donating, organising a fundraiser or supporting us in anyway please contact us.
