Where We Came From
Our stories start with the 14 years of civil war in Liberia from 1990 to 2004. Our leader Rev. Dr. Kparku Sam Ndorleh also experienced until February 2002 before coming to the United States. His experience with the suffering during the war was the signal of his all-out devotion to serving the world's less fortunate and suffering people.
It was not a mistake for God to save Dr. Ndorleh on July 20, 1988, and two years of preparation at the hands of Missionaries from the Living Word Mission in the United States. During the war, as evidenced in the first picture in this slide, Dr. Ndorleh was one of those who suffered but allowed his suffering to lead him to take a course of action to help others.
Blessed with three losses of everything during the war (1990, 1993, and 1996), Dr. Ndorleh was also blessed with jobs that provided him the resources to help others (The Red Cross 1991-1992, Liberians United to Serve Humanity 1992 - 1994, United Nations Military Observes Mission to Liberia 1994 - 1997 and The joint projects of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees & German Technical Corporation - GTZ 1997-2002).
As Dr. Ndorleh was traveling from place to place in Liberia, he was being led by God to lay the foundation of this great path. This mission was launched in November 1997 and incorporated in August 1998 in Liberia. The work started with land acquisition in Todee and Monrovia to start the task and then to Gbarnga, P River, and the Tubman Military Academy, a mission to rebels and the military.
By the end of his stay in Liberia and coming to the USA as a permanent resident in February 2002, five churches were temporarily built, and three elementary schools started. This is where we want you, our supporters, to start.
The war left over 200,000 people dead, over 2,000,000 displaced, and the infracture of the nation was destroyed. Children born before and during the war have had no foundation for life, no education, and many are without a parental source of support.
While working here in the USA, we would like you to send us back to help with education, agriculture, health, life skills, and sustainable income generation programs. See our international programs.
