Knowledge is Power: Phase one of our mission to Liberia is to purchase and install a satellite in Monrovia, Liberia at our offices there. Since 2005, we have supported two families their and have been their sole source of support. Now, working with the Embassy of the Republic of Liberia to the United States in Washington, DC. Because they have limited outside resources, the satellite will provide Internet access as well as access for leaders to preview all of the channels on the Body Builders Television Network. Membership is free to all leaders and will be supported from membership fees.
Unlike most cities in Africa, Liberia has more connections with the United States than any other. Our goal is to economically empower this country by providing missions with dignity, not handouts. Like their counterparts in America, African Americans are proud people.
We will be able to monitor our efforts by having a network and headquarters in Liberia. It will also provide income to our staff there.
Liberia, "land of the free," was founded by free African-Americans and freed slaves from the United States in 1820. An initial group of 86 immigrants, who came to be called America-Liberians, established a settlement in Christopolis (now Monrovia, named after U.S. President James Monroe) on February 6, 1820.
Thousands of freed American slaves and free African-Americans arrived during the following years, leading to the formation of more settlements and culminating in a declaration of independence of the Republic of Liberia on July 26, 1847. The drive to resettle freed slaves in Africa was promoted by the American Colonization Society (ACS), an organization of white clergymen, abolitionists, and slave owners founded in 1816 by Robert Finley, a Presbyterian minister. Between 1821 and 1867 the ACS resettled some 10,000 African-Americans and several thousand Africans from interdicted slave ships; it governed the Commonwealth of Liberia until independence in 1847.
"Because we as founders are of African American decent, this mission is close to our heart. This is our chance to empower our people at home and abroad". Our desire is to educate America about the heritage of Liberia and through our network provide necessarys funds to held in the establish of this nation. Our goal is also to establish a sense of pride in African American leaders, especially Pastors, how to see ourselves as establishing missions and not being a mission".
