Faith Assembly Outreach Ministries
We welcomed Pastor Paul H Okere and his wife Mother Youngor Okere into our Lion and Eagle family on September 5, 2009.
Paul is the Apostle and Senior Pastor of Faith Assembly Outreach Ministries (FAOM) in Gardnersville in the capital. He wrote: “We desire your apostolic coverage and are ready to work with your ministry, not because of material things or money, but because we know that God has led us to you.”
The ministries of FAOM are many and include: an orphanage; special care for abused children, the poorest of the poor, street girls, the abandoned sick in hospital and Aids sufferers; planting churches, training pastors and catering for their needs; and providing basic education and occupational skills. Their vision is to reach their nation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ by every available means and with love, boldness, zeal and dedication.

God’s Empowering Holistic Outreach Ministries
We welcomed Apostle S. Eric Clinton and his wife, Minister Vera Clinton, into our Lion and Eagle family on January 6, 2011.
Eric Clinton is the Apostle and Senior Pastor over God’s Empowering Holistic Outreach Ministries (GEHOM) which he and his wife founded in April 2006. They are based in the DuPort Road suburb of Monrovia. They also have a rural project in Grand Gedeh County.
Their mission is two-fold: first, to reach the unreached through tent revival meetings and house-to-house home cell fellowship, and second, to establish a training school for pastors and leaders to go and train others. They seek to plant churches.
GEHOM has many of the same aims and objectives as FAOM – much needed in Liberia today: reaching out to orphans and widows and displaced people both young and the elderly; seeking to impart job skills through occupational training and to empower people to be job creators. GEHOM seeks to establish agricultural projects to provide people with work as well as to grow food for the hungry. They also seek to provide basic education and medical assistance. One stated objective is to establish a 50 bed pediatric medical center.

Malawi

Malawi is a landlocked country in Central Africa and is affectionately known as “the warm heart of Africa.” It is bordered by Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique. One of the substantial challenges in Malawi is that, in common with some other African countries, it has very serious problems with HIV and AIDS and therefore with: lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality, and a rising orphan population.
