Changing Lives of Liberians (CLL)’s mission is to help the underserved children, orphans, and poverty-stricken individuals in Liberia by providing food and shelter. Not only that, but we also aim to offer Christian-based education to build family unity and support systems by providing skills and job opportunities in order to provide for their families and local communities.
CLL’s calling to Liberia in our hearts started long ago with a vision of loving children in their unfortunate circumstances and being able to help them. The calling has come through the love in our hearts for children and confirmed by His Word, words of knowledge, and life experiences that relate to survival, and many confirming circumstances.
Our Mission & Vision
Lord willing, by 2028, we hope to be able to care for any medical need through a staffed medical facility and have individuals homes for families (we currently have one home). Additionally, we hope to be able to supply stability and have regular teachings of Biblical principles. Additional plans include:
Current home, as of Spring 2023.
Meals and comfortable homes to Liberia’s most neglected and vulnerable children due to the effects of war, AIDs, ebola, and COVID-19.
Quality and affordable education to ill-deserving children in Liberia.
School scholarships to deserving students whose parents cannot afford education due to systematic hardships and the high rate of unemployment as a result of the prolonged Civil War.
Hands-on skills and training to parents and adults to become serviceable in their community and Liberia at large.
Create awareness of the importance of preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. – Psalm 68:5
“I have been involved in children’s ministry for 30 years and been serving on the mission field in the country’s of Guatemala, Venezuela, and Africa. Most recently, I visited and ministered to 9 orphanages in Ghana. I’m looking forward to serving in the Lord’s grace in Liberia, Africa.”

“CLL began in 2020 when I felt a strong call from God to help the impoverished families and orphans in Liberia. I have always had a heart for helping others and have volunteered at several ministries in my community over the years.”
Statement of Faith
We believe that the Bible is inspired and the infallible, authoritative word of God. As a Christian organization, we believe that there is only one God, who is infinitely perfect and holy; the creator, preserver, and governor of all things, and who is the proper object of worship. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has; by His suffering and death, made an atonement for elects, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but has eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 8:29-30).
We believe that repentance towards God, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the regeneration by the Holy Spirit are necessary for personal salvation. We believe that man is justified by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and he who believes has the witness within himself. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, Christians are enabled to live a godly life.
