How can we pray for you?

Introduction to Liberia:

Liberia, located on the West African coast, has a unique history as Africa’s first republic, founded by freed slaves from the United States in the 1800s. Today, it is home to about 5 million people and is widely considered a Christian-majority nation. However, many who identify as Christian have not placed their personal faith in Jesus. The church often struggles with shallow teaching, prosperity preaching, and a lack of discipleship. Liberia also continues to recover from the scars of civil war, the Ebola crisis, and widespread poverty. Despite these difficulties, there is a faithful remnant of believers and churches committed to proclaiming the gospel and making disciples in truth.
