Liberia Government (Monrovia)
1 October 2008
Monrovia — President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has lauded the Life without Limbs Ministries for its interest in Liberia as the country continues on the path of development and renewal.
The President spoke Tuesday at the Foreign Ministry when she met with Australian pastor Nick Vujicic of Life without Limbs International. Pastor Vujicic is regarded as an icon worldwide. He was born without limbs, but preaches the word of God and draws attention to the plight of the underprivileged. He is scheduled to share the word of God at a crusade to be held in Monrovia under the theme 'Liberia Awake.'
According to an Executive Mansion release, the Liberian leader commended Pastor Vujicic for his visit. The President described the visit as timely as Liberia works to overcome the adversities of the past. President Johnson Sirleaf applauded the Australian prelate for 'bringing consciousness to Liberia.' The Australian prelate's presence in Liberia, the President noted, could help strengthen young people in Liberia as they strive for success in their future endeavors.
For his part, Pastor Vujicic said he looked forward to developing a relationship with Liberia. He assured the President that Life without Limbs will continue to pray for Liberia's continuous progress.
Pastor Nick Vujicic was accompanied to the Office of the President by Presidential Religious Advisor Esther Nyema and members of Life without Limbs International.
