President Ellen-Johnson Sirleaf has lauded organizers of the "Africa for Jesus Summit," for convening in the country. President Sirleaf noted that the Prayer Submit, the first of its kind in Liberia, represents a vote of confidence in the future of the country. The President acknowledged the power of prayer, describing as "divine intervention," the recent political events in Liberia, resulting in free and fair elections that have set the nation on the path of Peace.
President Johnson-Sirleaf made the assertion yesterday at Bethel Cathedral in Sinkor when she attended a session of the "Africa for Jesus Summit", which opened Wednesday in Monrovia. The Chairman of the Board of the Summit, the Rev. Dr. Darlington Johnson, described President Sirleaf's presence at the session as an indication that Liberia is on a path of renewal. He urged the Church to continue holding together to effect the desired change on society.
In another development, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has lauded employees of the Liberia Broadcasting System (LBS), for the sacrificial services they continue to render the nation and its people.
The Liberian leader urged employees to consider LBS as a public service medium which has an obligation to provide quality services to the Liberian people, without bias.
President Sirleaf stressed the need for the station to provide a long time plan that would enable government to solicit assistance from partners around the world.
Speaking today when she inspected newly installed broadcast equipment at the State Broadcasting House, President Sirleaf commended the Chinese and United States governments for their assistance in expanding the capacity of LBS.
The station's Director-general, Mr. Charles Snetter, thanked President Sirleaf for the visit, and assured the Chief Executive of the station's continued efforts to expand the broadcast capacity of LBS.
