hope rising in liberia.
We are committed to raising up the next generation of servant leaders who will transform Liberia—and beyond—for Christ. We do this through Christ-centered educational initiatives, built on decades of measurable, grassroots impact in one of the world’s most impoverished yet promising nations: Liberia.
For nearly 70 years, we’ve poured the love of Christ and vital resources into Liberia’s most vulnerable communities. Now, we seek partners to multiply that impact—through educational and spiritual development initiatives —bringing sustainability and real hope to “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40) in every city and village of Liberia and beyond. Will you join us in bridging heaven and earth where it’s needed most?
OUR annual IMPACT IN NUMBERS
Behind every number is a life changed, a community strengthened, a mission moving forward. Every child fed, every family restored, and every hour volunteered reflects a life transformed and a future brightened by the love of Christ. More than statistics, these are stories of lives restored—made possible through faithful service and sacrificial giving.
We’ve celebrated powerful milestones over the decades. But with nearly one million children unsure of their next meal and more than a million still unreached in Liberia’s frontier regions, the mission is far from finished. Now is the time to multiply the impact.
Join us in carrying this work forward—one life, one community, and one act of love at a time. In Liberia and beyond.

for such a time as this
Our Esther 4:14 Moment Has Arrived
At Pillar Missions, we believe we were made for more—more Kingdom impact, more God-ordained partnerships, and a bold pursuit of what is impossible for man but entirely possible with God.
Rooted in decades of faithful ministry, a sterling reputation, and influential, Christ-anchored relationships across Liberia, we now stand on the threshold of a national harvest.
Now is the time to aim higher. We believe God is positioning us to reach the entire nation of Liberia for Christ—and to help lift nearly one million children out of generational poverty through the power of the Gospel, education, and compassionate action.
The movement is stirring. The opportunity is clear. The time is now.
We invite you to hear the vision, explore our impact projects, and discover how you and your organization can join us in winning Liberia for Christ. Together boldly in Christ, we turn vision into victory!

The fruit Of collaboration
The 2023 Poker Run to raise funds to purchase motorbikes for our Regional Directors happened on June 4th.
The reason I participated in the Liberian Motorbike fundraiser is to echo Bro. Gary’s words, “to do something that you love to do and bless others with that is indeed a blessing.” Thank You, Lord, for blessing me.

2023 Poker Run
Pillar Missions invited our supporters to invest in our pastors. Most of our pastors in Liberia have never owned a study-Bible. With our investors’ support, we were able to give 50 African study Bibles to our senior and associate pastors.

Our family is so excited to see these pastors receive the African Study Bibles. Because of the generosity of many people, God’s Kingdom is being built!! May God bless these pastors who shepherd their people through the powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ and His mighty Word!
