 Welcome toLiberia Christian Ministries International online!
LCMIis a non-profit ministry created in 2005 to support humanitarian and ministry effortsin Liberia. We believe we have been led by God to help improve the physical and spiritual well being of the people of Liberia. We cannot help every person in need, but we can make a difference in the lives of many, especially theOrphan Children.This ministry is to the praiseand honor of JesusChrist, and we give him all the glory. We desire to be thehands and feet of Jesus in Liberia.
Currently, there are three major aspects of the LCMI ministry:
- The Betty Jonah Orphanage.
- The Randy Godfrey Elementary and Junior High School.
- The LCMI church in New Kayma Town and a new church plant in Bong County.
- LCMI School in New Kayma Town (that meets at LCMI Church)
The heart of the ministryis the Betty Jonah Orphanage near Yekepa, Liberia. In 2004, Anthony and Betty Jonah decided to start an orphanage to take in orphans, at risk children, andchildren abondonedduring the Civil War. With no outside support, the Jonahs' began taking in children and providing them a good Christian home, a stable environment, and the love of Christ in their lives.
Through a providential meeting with Randy Godfrey of North Carolina, USA, the Jonahs' found a partner and friend. Randy Godfrey and Emmanuel Jonah (the son of Anthony and Betty Jonah)organized theLiberia Christian Ministry International as a way to support the work of the orphanage through the pledges of Christians, Churches, and those with a heart for thechildren of Liberia. As the orphanage grew, a school was started in Camp 4 to educate the children of the orphanage, but also open to the localchildren of the village of Camp 4. Currently, there are 48 children in the Betty Jonah Orphanage and about 175 students attend the Randy Godfrey Elementary and Junior High School.
As you peruse the website, we would be thrilledif God moved your heart to help sponsor a child or a teacher. Every dime of sponsorship given, goes directly tocare for and educatethe children. All administrative and organizational work is done on a volunteer basis. We are thrilled when children, families, churches, mission groups, Sunday school classes, and the like, decide to make a difference and get involved. Every gift matters. Would you consider supporting a child? Maybe you would like to support a teacher? Opportunities are also available to travel to Liberia and have a hands on experience.
The website is in the process of being upgraded and reorganized. As we completed the pages listed above, you will be able to access them. Until then, please feel free to contact us by email at LCMI@carolina.rr.com
