Grace & Truth Liberia Ministry
Our Story
Grace & Truth Liberia Ministry was born out of hardship, survival, and God’s unmistakable providence. During Liberia’s long and devastating civil war, families and churches were scattered, and more than one in five people were killed or displaced.
In the midst of that chaos, Richelieu Reeves fled for his life and eventually found refuge in a Ghanaian refugee camp, where thousands of Liberians were struggling to rebuild.
In that camp, Richelieu began serving children, sharing the Gospel, and clinging to the truth of Scripture. It was there—far from home, with nothing but faith to stand on—that God arranged a providential meeting with an American missionary. Through that relationship, doors opened for Richelieu to come to the United States, receive theological training, and grow in his calling to preach and teach God’s Word.
He attended Luther Rice Seminary, was ordained, and deepened his commitment to sound doctrine. Yet even as he studied, God kept Liberia on his heart. After seminary, Richelieu sensed a clear calling to return home and help rebuild the church in a nation still recovering from war.
He obeyed.
Back in Liberia, he began preaching, discipling pastors, witnessing in villages, and standing firm for biblical truth in a region where false teaching is common. His ministry grew naturally—one relationship, one church, one pastor at a time. Richelieu envisioned a training center where pastors could learn the fundamental truths of Scripture, and supporters in the United States soon began developing a 501(c)(3) organization to help advance that vision.
From that calling
From that calling, Grace & Truth Liberia Ministry, Inc. emerged: a work dedicated to strengthening pastors, serving communities, and establishing a solid, Christcentered foundation for future generations. What began with one man in a refugee camp has grown into a ministry committed to glorifying God, standing firm in biblical truth, and building a Gospel witness that can reach Liberia and extend throughout West Africa.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to illuminate Liberia with the transformative power of the Gospel, igniting hearts with the love of Christ. We see Liberian communities of faith glorifying God, exalting His Son Jesus Christ, and shining forth the light of Christ throughout West Africa, illuminating the path to salvation for generation after generation until our Lord’s return.
Mission Statement
Through comprehensive Biblical training and compassionate evangelism, we aspire to cultivate a network of Liberian pastors who are faithful to God’s Word, who embody Christ’s teachings, and who will take the truth and the hope of the Gospel to every corner of Liberia. Our aim is to see souls saved and lives changed by the grace of God.
