He pointed out that what moves his heart for Liberia is seeing a Country that had gone through different times but is working very hard to get to a better place, and to see churches including SOGOM Harvest promulgating the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
He said following his return to the United Sates he will serve as a goodwill Ambassador and encourage others to visit Liberia and support the partnership between SOGOM Harvest and the Harvest Bible Chapel.
Pastor White described the Liberian people as strong, good and loving people and that Harvest Bible Chapel would continue its partnership with SOGOM Harvest to see the planting of more churches and the establishment of Christian schools.
He said what the delegation had been impressed with is that everyone interacted with is very friendly and caring, something he noted is not really in the United States (hospitality of almost all the Liberian people), hoping to return after one year.
