Liberia Project-USA Boss Honored
The Board of Directors, Elders and Youth of the Free Pentecostal Church Global Mission (Liberia) Inc. have honored the founder and president of Liberia Protect based in the United States of America, Mr. Daniel Solee. He was honored for his humanitarian contributions to the Church and state.
Performing the ceremony on Sunday, May 8, 2005 at separate occasions in Gardnersville and Sinkor, the Pastor of the Free Pentecostal Church Global Mission, Rev. Joseph T.S. Menjor recalled much assistance that Protect Liberia-USA has rendered the church.
He praised Solee, who hailed from Foya District in Lofa County, for his contribution to the development and growth of the Pentecostal Church in Liberia.
According to Pastor Menjor, the honoree, a former assistant minister, special assistant of the Ministry of Transport and former deputy commission of customs for operations, Ministry of Finance, donated cash, bibles, medical supplies and clothing to the church for the benefit of its members.
Liberia Project-USA is a humanitarian organization established in the USA by a group of Liberians headed by Solee to assist Liberians both in the US and Liberia. Its headquarters is in Laurel, Maryland, USA and has membership in several parts of that state.
The group has since noted that the prolonged civil conflict in Liberia has left the entire country in ruin, especially the church and urged other charitable and humanitarian organizations to come to the aid of Liberia.
Pastor Menjor used the occasion to inform Mr. Solee about the deplorable condition of the church branch in Foya Statutory District in Lofa County.
Responding, the honoree lauded the church for its “historic role” in promoting peace, reconciliation and reunification in war ravaged Liberia.
“Liberia has been severely destroyed by the prolonged civil war and now needs the concerted efforts of all Liberians,” he said.
He promised to convey the church’s sentiment to all Liberians currently seeking fortune in the USA. Foya University Students Association also honored Mr. Solee.
