hope on mission
At Pillar Missions, we cultivate genuine friendships and strategic partnerships with like-hearted ministries across the Body of Christ, united by a shared passion for advancing God’s Kingdom on earth.
We are deeply committed to serving those whom Jesus lovingly called “the least of these,” easing suffering through compassion-driven outreach and long-term investment.
Through our initiatives, we mobilize people and vital resources to support education, church planting, and medical missions—meeting critical needs in some of the world’s most impoverished communities.
For nearly 70 years, by God’s grace, we’ve carried out faithful missions work in Liberia. Yet we believe the greatest impact lies ahead. Together, empowered by the love of Christ, we can break the chains of generational poverty and ignite sustainable transformation across Liberia and West Africa.
OUR IMPACT IN NUMBERS
Numbers cannot be denied in telling a powerful story—a story of hope delivered, transformation happening, and communities thriving. Every meal served, every family supported, and every hour volunteered impacts a real life and brightens a future. Together, we’ve achieved incredible milestones, but our work is far from over. These numbers are more than statistics; they’re a testament to what we can accomplish when we come together as ambassadors of Christ purposed and committed to loving and serving nations and people groups with great needs. Join us as we continue to make a lasting impact for Christ in Liberia, one life at a time.

The Power Of Partnership
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.
