The embattled General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God Church in Liberia, Rev. Williams T. Davies, has expressed his willingness to put an end to the leadership crisis in the church that has been in confusion for the past two years.

He made the call yesterday at the Crossroads Liberia Assemblies Church in Garnerville at the marking of a three-day first executive meeting of 2007 of the entire church.

The meeting was not attended by the opposing group but that did not deter the long-serving embattled Superintendent from calling for calm.

Weighed down by the crisis which has grossly impacted on the Church, Rev. Davies has craved the intervention of the government, adding that the crisis can be resolved if the government gets involved.

“LAG Executive and the elders are also appealing to the government of Liberia to help crush the ongoing disobedience in the churches, especially the Liberia Assemblies of God Inc.,” Rev. Davies said.

He appealed to the Liberian government to look into the merit of the crisis and come out with a decision that will please God.

He alleged that despite the continued refusal of Jimmy Kuoh’s group to resolve the ongoing leadership crisis, there is still room for them to come together to end the power struggle.

Commenting on the meeting, Rev. Davies said important decisions would be reached relative to the church centennial existence. The Assemblies of God was established in 1908 and one of the long-serving churches in the country.

According to him, the meeting will also discuss plans concerning the planting of new churches in Lofa, Bong, Grand Cape Mount, Nimba and Grand Kru Counties where there are no AG churches.

“The people of Grand Kru County have welcomed the AG as new churches have been planted by LAG,” he said. The three-day executive meeting brought together district officials of the church from across the country.

MTI Making Difference In The Wilderness 

In December 1989 Liberia plunged into a brutal armed conflict that lasted for about 15 years and left the country destroyed almost beyond repair.

It took the swift involvement of the international community to bring peace to the conflict-prone nation. Since then, local and international Ngos have been chipping in to mend the broken pieces and give Liberians another round of hope.

Above all, is the Medical Teams International (MTI) formerly of (North West Medical Teams). The NGO came to Liberia to provide assistance in the health sector which, up to now, still faces enormous challenges.

In 2004, MTI officially commenced it contributions to the health sector focusing on the North-Western County of Grand Cape Mount County providing health care services to thousands of citizens who were sheltering at IDPs camps.

Following the closure of the most of the camps about two years ago, MTI did not pack its tools but embarked on an intensive mobile clinic programs providing free medical treatment to people living in villages of the county.

Having served the people of the county for some times now, the international Ngo has got a place in the hearts of those it is catering to.

Now referred to as the lonely helping hand in the wilderness, MTI last December launched the Child Survival Program (CSP). The program will last for four years providing health care services in the county.

Apart from the huge finance it has put into the CSP, the NGO has trained over 20 traditional mid wives. The training lasted for about three months and the beneficiaries are now providing their expertise to residents in different communities.

MTI has also employed the services of professional nurses in four major clinics in Kulangor, Tahnmafa, and Bamballa in Tewor, Gola Konneh and Porkpa Districts in Grand Cape Mount County.

This is part of its commitment to addressing the health care needs of residents in that part of Liberia. As a mark of reciprocation for the services the International Ngo is rendering,   residents of the county during ceremony heaped praised on MTI.

They also thanked God that such asset was available to them helping them out their health problems. Citizens in other counties may be yawning for such chance the people of Grand Cape Mount County are enjoying.
