You know, during the war, a lot of churches were damaged and so through the efforts of this organization (LUMVIM), my dream is for all the churches in the conference to be developed for us to rebuild all of them.

 

 

 

Rev. James Labala:
...and that even led us to the formation of the first team which is presently working which

That is to say the spirit of volunteerism will be fostered among the membership that we’ll to the point to share our different gifts and talents through the growth and development of our church, concretizing our Christian love and letting the community around us to know that indeed we are God’s people and we have the love of God in our hearts that we will allow ourselves to be channels of God’s love flowing out.

I will say that this whole process of volunteering be a part of the whole church, the entire church, that everyone be a part of it, because it brings us together and by this, we’ll be a greater church in serving mankind. We’ll be able to show the demonstration of love from God to our fellow man. And so, my dream is that the whole idea will bring us closer and closer together and help us in evangelism because it will bring the children of God together, where do we see Christo... in every aspect of our lives, this will be my dream.

Well, for me, I see that first that through God will bring forth unity within the church it will make people to love being part of the church because we are showing here with one another, by volunteering, our services. It also helps to make us be self-supported and then others (outsiders) will see us and as we work, be impressed to even help us in supporting us.

 

Rev. Stephen E. Snorton, Liberia Annual Conference Committee
p5x.jpg (13431 bytes)My dream is to see that all of us will get involved with the process in the Liberia Annual Conference, get involved in the idea of volunteering, which is a new word for some of us, and all of us will get involved not only with the physical building, but put our love into action. Having gone through what we’ve gone through (the war) my dream is that we will all put our love into action to get things done which should be done for God and for others so that all of us in the Liberia Annual Conference and all of Liberia will benefit.
