Vision Liberia 2027 Conferences
The Vision Liberia 2027 Conference is Liberia’s wake up call to the Church and community leaders to unite and mobilize their resources, skills and abilities for the restoration and rebuilding of Liberia.
Goal
The goal of the Vision Liberia 2027 conferences is to define the root causes of Liberia’s spiritual, political, economic, and social underdevelopment and set realistic and achievable goals for the holistic development of Liberia by 2027. This goal shall be realized through a series of three (3) day leadership development conferences with community leaders in a workshop/seminar format to facilitate discussions and the participation of a group of people, including youths, young adults, former combatants, women groups, civil servants, opinion and political leaders.
Strategy
The 15 counties of Liberia are divided up into seven (7) regions, and we have plans to conduct seven major regional Vision Liberia 2027 Conferences across the country. The Vision Liberia 2027 Conference will comprise of about 300 delegates of all walks of life mentioned above. Following a Conference within a region, the results will be documented for inclusion in an overall report, and individual interest groups will be encouraged to continue discussion within their context and develop specific action plans relevant to individual group needs. As a follow up, we plan to organize special workshop sessions for high school and college students at selected dates flexible with their school seasons.
Key Conference Questions
- Where should Liberia be in its development strides by the year 2027

- What must the Church do to become more evangelistic and mission-minded?
- What must the Church do to engage in sustainable Christian business venture?
- What must the Church do to help feed the nation (agriculture and rural/community development)?
- What must the Church do to practice honest Christian stewardship and integrity and establish credibility in Liberia?
- What must the Church do to sustain marriage and the family?
- What must the Church do to ensure a healthy, positive and secured future for our children and youth?
- What must the Church do to improve the educational, health and business sectors of our nation?
- What must the Church do to ensure a clean environment and protect our natural resources?
- What must we do to develop sufficient qualified medical doctors by 2027?

Expected Outcome
- The Christian community will be united around a common vision for the reconstruction of post-conflict Liberia
- Individual Christians will be motivated to live a more dedicated and committed life characterized by honesty, accountability, integrity and credibility
- The purpose for the Church’s existence in contemporary Liberia will be clarified
- The unity of the Church will be deepened and the spirit of National consciousness and patriotism will be created
- The spirit of network and partnership amongst Churches and Christian Institutions will be strengthened
- Individual citizens will be motivated to rise above the effects of the civil war to achieve their destiny
This initiative should culminate into the development of the Liberia National Vision Covenant. The Covenant will bind committed Christians (nation and community leaders) together and enable them to meet their corporate needs by meeting the needs of one another and individual community.
