Jeremiah’s Passion to Share the Gospel | An Update from Liberia
Jeremiah came to Lifesong 16 years ago,
when he was just four years old. He was one of the orphaned and vulnerable children in the second group of kids invited to receive care from our team in Liberia.
Every morning and every evening, the children and staff members would gather for a devotion and prayer time. As Jeremiah and the other children heard the Good News of the Gospel, they began to understand how the Gospel was at work in their lives too.
One by one, many of them made the decision to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
At Lifesong, we stand by a four-part pledge to the children we serve. The first part of the pledge affirms our commitment to teach orphaned and vulnerable children the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ.
Be taught the Gospel and how to live as a follower of Jesus Christ
Not want for food, clothing, medical care, or shelter
Receive a quality education to provide a foundation for their future
Experience continued love and support while transitioning into adult living
In 2020, Jeremiah and six other teenagers joined a new discipleship program in Liberia.
Together with staff, they explored God’s Word, grew in fellowship with one another, and held each other accountable. They served within the church and grew even more in their walk with Jesus.
Liberia Country Director, Emmanuel shares—
“Our focus is to raise and disciple followers of Jesus Christ who, in turn, disciple others to follow Jesus Christ.”

Now, Jeremiah is a young leader in his church.
He plays the organ and sings praises to God in choir.
But Jeremiah doesn’t just participate in worship because he’s a gifted musician; his goal is to share the love of God with more orphaned and vulnerable children like him through performance art and music.
Jeremiah says—
“For me, being a disciple of Jesus means following in His footsteps by dying to yourself and living for Him alone.”
Jeremiah graduated high school last year and now attends Lifesong’s Vocational College where he is studying electricity. In addition to learning many practical skills that will help him find employment, Jeremiah will start Bible school this year, helping him live out his passion to share the Gospel with the unreached.
