Preamble
Looking at the history of our nation the Church needs to be to involve in every direction; we can’t be silent in terms of nation building process.
Liberia has a victory and funny illness (citizenship mind-set) the mind of people in a way that there has been no resolution to it.
The mind of many Liberians is occupied with the following destructive actions as described below:
Un-development, dependent syndrome, negative detractors, and critics.
The country itself is positioned on a very rich soil.
As you can see, look, or think that our country has all you think other nations may need thereof.
Liberia is the only country we have; no one deports you in Liberia.
You can be deported from elsewhere but will send you back in Liberia.
There is no other nation on the planet earth that you belong, only Liberia.
Liberia belongs to Liberians; we must cherish, care, love, respect, protect, support, build, develop, motivate, and empower our nation.
VISION: To Represent Christ, and to unite the Body.
MISSION: To bring all Churches & Christian Organizations together under one umbrella, whether in the cities or Villages, without discrimination and to work with Government, Embassies, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) as well as all Citizens to maintain our country in unity and peace.
NB: we are neither a breakaway nor member with Liberian Council of Churches LCC. We respect them, they are our Parent, we will love to work with them in any good direction in the interest of our country and Christian community in general. We do recognize their good work, but we have different platform all together that make us independent Council.
Independent Council of Liberia Churches ICLC inc.
will want to know the total number of pastors in the country, their prerequisite, and to make sure that all ministers are licensed, ordained, authorized to minister within the Republic. We will not just encourage any minister anyhow from anywhere into the Country without our knowledge. Our country/people must be respected; we had witnessed all kinds of fake ministers coming into Liberia in the name of establishing churches, performing fake miracles, and taking huge money from our innocent people which is unethical.
This Body will put an end to all before June of 2020.
We must have all record on every Minister across the nation before June of 2010.
On the other hand, we ask the Government of the Republic of Liberia, (our Law makers) to separate the Government Accreditation Body, National Commission on High Education NCHC from the Religious Intuitions through Independent Council of Liberia Churches as our Legal document/ documented in our incoopreation.
This is to say, NCHE should only be able to regulate the Secular Institutions but not Biblical/ religious institution, in some Countries, Government Accrediting Body accredit only Secular Institution that offer credits in secular field, in other sense, they charge fee per their courses; this is not with Biblical institution that does not charge fee to students therefore, religious body, regulates, approve all regular Institutions.
It touches my soul that many Bible Schools have been closed down by the Governments in the time past; something that has kept our Pastors/Christians untrained.
However, the religious community through the Lord through the Independent Council of Liberian Churches is asking the Government to see the need to respond to our concern.
