Early stages of fellowship work in Liberia

At the end of October, Pastor Paul Hirsch (St. Paul’s Congregation in Norfolk, Neb.) met me, One Africa Team missionary, Dan Kroll, at Roberts Airport near Monrovia, Liberia. We traveled about an hour to Buchanan with Pastor Toye Barnard who leads a small congregation—Lamb of God Lutheran Church—of about 50 people.

Small study groups review material

After a review of what was needed to complete stage one (of four – the One Africa Team program for those who want to come into fellowship), we agreed that we should review the Ministry of the Keys and Baptism. Pastor Hirsch was slated to teach the Ten Commandments and managed well while Pastor Kroll gave a review of the Ministry of the Keys and practical applications of Baptism.

While we were there, we also considered a piece of land that the congregation would like to buy. It would be big enough for a school, but not quite enough for much expansion thereafter. We are still praying about the idea. The One Africa Team is hesitant to make big financial commitments in places where we have not yet been able to confirm a unity of teaching and practice. We expect that to happen in 2025.

The One Africa Team is blessed to work with this group after they had separated themselves from a Pentecostal group in 2022, confident that the Lord will bless this work in Buchanan Liberia.

To God’s glory!
